Lowe Family says
We extend our heartfelt condolences to all of Ruth’s family. When we lose someone it causes Heartache that can be hard to bear. But in this difficult moment may God be your refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress. – Psalm 46:1 And may your treasured memories of Ruth bring you a measure of comfort now and in the days ahead.
John & Carol Leach says
To Tim and Joyce…Carol & I want to send our condolences, love and prayers to you and your families.
Our connection is: We live in the same town (Pitman, NJ) as your cousin, Barbara “Bobby” (Wiest) and her husband, Joe Graves.
Bobby’s mother was Esther Leach (my father’s sister) and married George Wiest. Take care and God Bless.
Hugo and Brenda Carpio says
Ruth Wiest was more than a friend…..she was our sister in Christ. She will be sorely missed but we rejoice in the knowledge that she is at rest with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. John 3:16 Ruth served for many years at New Dorp Baptist Church as Sunday School teacher, Musical Director, Soloist and in whatever task she was asked to take on. She was well known for her fantastic Christmas Parties held for her friends every year. Many people were truly blessed by her life, her sweet friendship and her generosity. “I know that our Redeemer lives.” Job 19:25a NIV. What joy and hope we have …. we will meet you again Ruth and join you as you sing in God’s heavenly choir.
Our condolences and sympathy to all her family.
Ruth Ellen Wayson Jorgensen says
I am so sorry about Ruth but she is with her Lord and Savior and rejoicing. I have fond memories of her. She was my youth leader, my choir director and especially, my friend. I still will miss her emails but I have kept quite a few over the years. I have so many fond memories of our time together with friends. Please accept my sympathy for your loss.
George & Ruth Jorgensen says
We send our prayers to you. May God surround you with His love and comfort you. We and our family have so many wonderful memories of a dear friend.
Sandi and John lebow says
So sorry to learn of Ruth’s death. She was a prime example of how a Christian should live, always rejoicing and always thankful for what she had. Could always find a bright side to things. Ruth was my pioneer girl leader and I spent many saturdays with her. They are unforgettable times. Also always enjoyed listening to her sing. May God comfort her family in knowing she is with the Lord she so adored.
