I am so sorry for your loss...I didn't realize Ruth had passed and feel awful that I found out too late. I loved Ruth...she was a favorite customer of mine and I loved giving her hugs to make her day better. My condolences and I will miss her.

I am so sorry to here about Ruth she was a very kind soul even though it doesn't make it easier at least the dear women isn't suffering anymore I'm sure it is going to be hard on everyone especially the ones that were taking care of her in the last days of her life. I'm sure Marcellus will be lost without her.maybe all the kids could share the farms so they could all maybe come home to help take care of dad. Marcellus and Ruth sold meat to my ex-husband and I It was the best we ever had Thank you so much when we would have company and fixed hamburgers they could always tell it came from us cause it was so good Rest in Peace Ruth now you will be in a much better place than all of us God Bless

Our sympathies are sent to Ruth's family. Marcellus and Ruth were good supporters of our Walcott Coliseum dances. Can still picture them sitting at their table.
