Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • So many fond memories, Auntie Ruthie was always there for my sisters and I, always keeping us entertained and out of trouble. I remember telling my mom that I wanted to be a farmers wife just like auntie Ruth, because she worked hard and got to work with the cows and chickens and always had a huge garden. I always think of her when I make venison meat balls. She always had a little bowl for me to try and said deer meat is good if you know how to cook it! Sending all my comforting thoughts to Mike and Brad - she sure loved you two and was always so proud of all that you became. - Posted by: Jennifer Berry (Neice) on: Jan 11, 2025
