My love to you all today. I think of her warm warm hugs, gatherings in the backyard at the Allentown home, and that beautiful smile. I always felt like one of the grandkids growing up because Ruth and Leroy were so loving and welcoming. My life it's richer for it.

From our days back at Germantown Academy and watching your mom teach the little kids to sings their hearts out, to the Jersey shore and playing card games at night around the dining room table with our mothers, to your wonderful wedding day in Atlanta and all the excitement, and every family celebration and activity we have always loved being there right along side Ruth! Her love of life was infectious. I will miss her dearly.

there was always a laugh where ever Ruth was.... such a wonderful lady and I was very blessed to know. She brought may smiles to everyone around her.

Beth I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My heart and prayers are with you and the whole family. I hope the wonderful and happy memories you all shared with her can give you some comfort during this difficult time. Sending big hugs and love your way.

She was such a wonderful woman. I have so many fond memories of her. She was so easy to talk to and full of life. We'll miss her very much.

Your smile will forever be in our hearts! I am glad my children were able to meet you, even if it was only briefly.
Love you forever Nana!

I shall always remember Ruth's big smile, big hug, and big laugh. She was always ready to find humor and always ready for fun. I have very fond memories of visiting 'the farm' with our daughters. Ruth took her grandchildren and our daughters to feed the fish in the pond, and play in the back yard, and set up the children with boardgames. I remember the wonderful meals Ruth prepared. She always greeted us with open enthusiasm - wanting to know all about what we were doing and what the children were up to and how the church was doing. Also, since both Ruth and LeRoy were from Iowa, and I am from Minnesota, I always felt a connection with the personality and culture of 'Midwesterners'. Ruth added grace and humor and compassion and love to the world - something that the world sorely needs - and something that will be truly missed. Ruth has claimed her baptismal promise. Le Roy, God comfort you in His arms of strength.

As a young teacher at GA, I quickly learned how warm, genuine, and welcoming Ruth was to all. She loved everything about teaching children, and the only thing that brought her more joy was her family. When Ruth became a grandmother, that was the crowning glory! Her happiness was complete, and there was no prouder grandmother ever!
I am so fortunate that Ruth taught my own children. She was a precious gift to them and to me.

I miss you so much Ruth. You have been my big sister for all my life. I remember so many special times. The phone will be more quiet now. I feel your love. You are at peace.

I miss you so much Ruth. I feel you are giving me love to remember all our time together. It goes back many years. Thank you God for giving me my sister.

Dearest Family: I pray that God would comfort Your hearts and that He would give you His peace. Mom is in Heaven & our hearts are hurting because she's no longer with us. I love you All very much, I pray that God would hold you in His Arms & bless your entire family as You honor & cherish the sweet memories of such an Extraordinary Woman & Beautiful Angel... Mrs. Ruth Aden! Love, Rosaan, Tauren & Rynique Barker

Ruth did something so special for me when she learned I did no have any family treasures. She showed up at school with a bag that had a platter and creamer from her mother and a soup dish from her grandmother. She said that I now had family treasures. That was our Ruth...kind and caring and so loving. Sandy Bennett

Ruth was a fun loving, comforting women. She made everyone laugh.
She always walked into GA with a smile and left laughing at the end of the day. I have many fond memories of Ruth especially our drive to Atlanta to see Beth and my niece. She insisted on stopping for food only where she saw a lot of trucks as she felt the drivers knew where the best food was served. We laughed and joked all the way to Ga. and back. The many fond memories I have of Ruth will live on forever.
I am sure she is up in heaven directing the choir of angels and catching up on all the news from those who have gone before us.

Janet and I miss you. We will always remember the great times we had on our annual trips.

Miss you more than words can explain but I know you are watching over us. You are the best nana in the whole entire world.

We miss you so much!
