Ruth Ann’s book, Not Without Spirit, is a close approximation of her life, and presentation of her values about the dignity of life and faith in God. She spent many, many years crafting and perfecting this excellent book as endorsed by many. In honor of her life, the family would like her book to receive increased and wider attention. In lieu of flowers, we ask those wishing to express an honorarium to join us in whatever way seems appropriate to you. Examples might be: Write a book review and publish it on Amazon or similar venue, recommend the book to friends and book clubs, call it to the attention of publishers and social media, etc. The family extends our endless gratitude to all who faithfully supported Ruth Ann in prayer and multiple other ways during the last 3+ years of her Odyssey.
