Prayers and fond memories are what we have to remember our dearly departed. My most heartfelt condolences.
You will live forever in our hearts...rest in peace
When Aunt Anne married into the Bishop family she brought her Dear Sister Ruth. She became a second mom to Sam and Darrell and an Aunt to the Bishop family. Rest in heaven Dear Auntie; thanks for the love you shared with our family
It was a pleasure & honor to meet Mrs.Ruth & Mrs.Anne. They have taught me so much in such little time. Going over to help them was great, as they would say I am the adopted granddaughter. They were the true definition of sister goals. It was amazing to watch how close they were & such divas!! I loved it. Such strong women that I will cherish the memories being with them. During this difficult time sending my love & prayers to the family. Rest in Heaven Mrs.Ruth❤️
To Aunt Anne, Sam, Genia, Kellen, My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. John 10:27-28 We love you, love Avetrius, Aletris, Kim,Torane, TJ & Noah
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
Thinking of you all as you celebrate Aunt Ruth’s remarkable life. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
I remember meeting you, majority of your siblings, and the rest of the family at one of those famous birthday parties for Mom. It was held at your sister Lola's house. I bought over my beautiful new baby to meet her new family. Your mother, most of your siblings, and the rest of the whole family embrace the both of us and has loved us as one of your own ever since that day nearly 40 years ago. Although you aren't biologically my aunt you have always been a blessing to me. I would often tell Kierra you remind me of Maya Angelou. It was your accent when you spoke to me, your pois, your beauty, your wisdom, and loving character. I've always called you Aunt Ruth and you will always Aunt Ruth in my heart. When people say let the life I live speak for me, yours have truly been one that went over and above and will truly be missed by many! I love you Aunt Ruth. See you in Heaven.
Heaven has gained an angel for sure! Rest well Aunt Ann! Condolences to the entire family...may you cherish the memories, love and laughter she brought into everyone’s life. Our golden girl! Love and hugs to you Kim, Sam, Aunt Ruth, Kierra and the entire Powers clan. Love you, the Lett family - Nate, Cricket and the kids.
WHEN THE HEART GRIEVES OVER WHAT IT HAS LOST, THE SPIRIT REJOICES OVER WHAT IT HAS LEFT
I remember visiting Ruth and Anne for the first time in Ruth’s home. She was reading the NY Times and I said to myself is she really going to read the entire paper? Indeed, she read most of it. I will miss Ruth’s sense of humor. She and Anne were a comedy team, her knowledge of current and past events, generosity and the story of her desire to take another banking employee under her wings. “ Even the strongest of us have moments when the burdens of life seem too great. It’s then that the Lord whispers to our hearts. Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest,” Matt 11:28. God has welcomed you into his kingdom. May you Rest In Peace. P.S. If there is a NY Times in heaven. I know you’re reading it. May God comfort the family as they grieve the loss of their loved one.
Some people have a way of touching people without ever knowing they’ve done so.You were that person. I’ve heard many stories over a 30 year period about how you supported your nieces and nephews, your trips to Ohio and most importantly the love and guidance that you shared/gave to your family so effortlessly. So, I just started referring to you as Aunt Ruth (smile). I have much respect and admiration for you!
On behalf of the Peck family, we send our condolences and love to our friend Kim, Aunt Anne, Sam, Mike and the rest of the family. Rest well Ruth G. Powers.
I remember performing for you in Aunt Iola's apartment; our talks about finance and your candidness about romance. I love you and miss you. I cherish the wisdom that you shared with me and will always remember your strength and grace.
To my family I’m sending my condolences and love. Aunt Ruth you were instrumental influence in my life. I remember when I was little you came to visit and brought souvenirs from your trip to Europe, Greece is coming to mind. You inspired me to want to travel and to appreciate all forms of art and culture. You gave so much of your life to all of us so that could experience and appreciate life. I miss you & love you and will continue to celebrate your life. Rest in Power❤️
Aunt Ann & Sam,
You are in my thoughts & . I know that the two of you will continue to be comforted and strengthen in God.
Dear Mrs. Bishop, You are in my heart today and my prayers go out to you and your family. I love you very much and I pray that you receive God's comfort and strength now and always. Love, Leslie (Jacob)
Though I never had the fortune of spending much time you, I will always remember the stories I heard about your intellect, persistence & compassion. Your niece, Deborah Powers Rattle
To a wonderful Aunt! I'm so grateful to God to have experienced precious moments in my life with you. Some of the best times of my life. I was always excited when I knew I would be spending time with you , my grandmother, and aunt Anne. Some memories I will cherish forever, and I often share with my children. Grateful to be apart of your lineage. I will forever love you Aunt Ruth.
