Medford, OR Thursday, January 28, 2010 Due to our family living out west, I never really got to spend much time with Aunt Ruth, but when we did, you could always sense her gentle spirit and how much she loved her family. She was a wonderful lady, loved the Lord, and is in heaven with Jesus!Allen and Annette Dowty
