Mom's faith in God has always been shining through all aspects of her life, and therefore, guiding me through times when I have stumbled. I thank God for giving me a mother who really cared. I love you, Mom, and will see you in the by and by. Priscilla
Ruth was a person who you knew had a strong faith that impacted everyone she ever came in contact with. I have known Ruth and Paul for 17 years and Their faith never wavered. Their commitment to the Lord and to each other can be seen in the care that Paul, and the whole family, offered throughout her illness.. I count myself lucky to be a part of this family and rejoice for Ruth that she is receiving the reward that has been promised to all followers of His Word. Ruth will be remembered.

My first thoughts are, she was my first contact, ( sounds like a sci fi statement) but it is not. Ruth was literally my first contact in several ways. She was my introduction to Paulette. That introduction led to my meeting Jennifer and ultimately Jesus as my Lord and Savior. January 1, 1977 Ruth became my mother-in-law when I married Paulette and Jennifer became my daughter by that marriage. Earlier, Paulette had invited me to church and I was then introduced to Jesus. That was the greatest moment of my life; all because Ruth May Munsell stepped into my new business and offered the use of her business phone until mine was installed. The impact she made on my life would take volumes to write. She was a shinning example of Christian love and expression in her life and witness to everyone around her. Ruth loved her family unconditionally. She shared her love with everyone she met. She was a model example and leader in her church volunteering in ministry as a prayer warrior, songstress and lay minister. She led an exemplary life of moral strength and played an active part in her community supporting her granddaughters and daughters reach their life's goals. Ruth, you are sorely missed and I loved you for your determined ways always wrapped in kindness for our best interest. Thank you Ruth for all you have done, I will love you and miss you. Bob
So glad my grandma is in a happy place now. She deserves this and I will always love and never forget. She's in my heart and will always be. She has always been a strong, solid and reliable part of my life 💕 Love you, Grandmom!!
