    We always enjoyed seeing (Aunt) Ruth at any family get together at our daughter, Carmine, and son-in-law Bob Cagle’s home. We called her Aunt Ruth because that is what our daughter and son-in-law called her. She always had a smile on her face and person, enjoying her nephew and his family. You just knew she was happy to be there and included in all the activity going on around her. You could see the love she had for her Grandnephew, James Faulkenberry, who is Carmine and Bob’s grandson.

    She will be greatly missed by all especially at any family gathering in the future.
