Ruth Anna was a lone precious bloom. I shall remember her compassion, gentleness, her jolly laugh (laughed just like her mom Avanell). My favorite memory happened at my youngest brother’s wedding reception. She loved my dad, her Uncle Don, he always took time to talk with her. On this particular evening as she was conversing with me, my dad walked up to the table and asked her to dance, she became red faced and said, ‘Uncle Don I can’t dance.’, my dad replied, ‘sure you can!’.. they danced one dance. I regret a picture was not taken of that special moment. Dad, Ruth Anna, and I shared some laughs that evening so long ago. It is etched in my mind. Last time I seen my sweet cousin was after work coming out of grocery. We talked for several minutes. She always beamed about her neices and nephews. She was a proud aunt. She always gave updates regarding her siblings, wanting to know about my family and me. She was not superficial, she was true to herself, a unique bloom. Her fragrance shall be missed by many who were touched by her spiritual, loving, and kind presence. Ruth Anna was a giver and a doer for others in the love of Jesus. Her Jesus now holds her in His sweet shalom. Love you Ruth Anna..
