Ruth Ann was a pleasure to be around. She always had a good word for everyone. We met her through her uncle Richard Mansfield, and his daughter Stacey, and they always spoke fondly of her and Denise. John Kraeer really liked giving her a ride on his motorcycle and she looked good on the bike. Our prayers go out to her family and friends. Paul and Darcy

To Ruthann's family, my deepest condolences but she is at peace now. I graduated 2 years behind Ruthann - we were cheerleaders together. My brothers, sister and I would see her at the Reunions in the Park and she was always so upbeat and cheerful. We danced many times together and she loved the electric slide. I'm sure they needed a great dancer in heaven. My prayers are with all of her family.
