Ruth was born in Maryland on May 1,1934 to parents Herman and Wylia Cerne, and was the older sister of Larry, who preceded her in death. She married David Easton on September 3rd, 1955 and together they raised four children: David (Caryl), Ellen (Mark), Mark (Sandy) and Jill (Mike.) Ruth and Dave loved to travel and spend time with each other, and early in the morning they could be found drinking coffee and reading the Bible together. One of their greatest sources of delight was being grandparents to Leslie (Asher), Stephen, Elizabeth (Joseph), Matthew (Sarah), Tyler, Emily, Sean, Conor, and Caoilinn. Ruth expressed how blessed she felt when they began welcoming great-grandchildren as well. She is lovingly remembered by Owen, Violet, Eliza, Edmund, Iris, William, Eleanor, and Jude. Ruth and Dave enjoyed over 50 years of marriage until he died in 2013.
Throughout her life, whether she was caring for her aging in-laws and mother, volunteering to play the piano at church, cooking for a family dinner, or holding a baby, Ruth exemplified a heart of service and a radical hospitality. For the last several years of her life she suffered from worsening dementia and forgot much of what she had once known; but she lived her entire life in the knowledge that her Redeemer lives. Her life of love for God and for her family will impact generations to come.
A graveside service for Ruth will be held Tuesday, November 21, 2023 at 10:00 AM at Memorial Park Cemetery/Columbia, 1217 Business Loop 70 W, Columbia, Missouri 65202.
