Ruth Ann Barnhill

Ruth lived with effortlessness, certainty and faith. She gave everybody respect and wanted to help anyone that needed it. She was beautiful inside and out, and every life she touched was the better for it. She smiled easily, and she laughed easily as she always did her best. Her smile lit up a room. She was an amazing daughter, sister, wife, friend. Ruth was forever, humble and modest and put everyone at ease and when new people met Ruth they felt that they had known her forever and that she was their friend for life. She enjoyed watching movies and working out, singing karaoke and cooking for family and friends. She loved jewelry, makeup and clothes. Ruth always looked glamorous even though she was thrifty. She could pull together an outfit in the drop of a hat. She always had a good word to say about everybody and she loved to travel and try new things. She went to church every Sunday and her faith gave her constant strength. That’s what made Ruth such an amazing person; she gave her all to everybody and never seemed to run out of cheerfulness and in good grace. She is constantly missed by all of us every day. Ruth was a romantic at heart. She and David, her husband kissed goodbye and hello every day, they clinked glasses when they sat down, and hugged and loved with wild romantic abandon. She was forever helpful, and no project was too big. Ruth loved everybody and everybody loved Ruth. We continue to celebrate her life and the joy she brought to all of us. She was so amazing and none of us will be the same without her. We all miss you Ruthie.

Beautiful wife, sister, daughter, friend
