Ruth prided herself in her Christian faith and took every opportunity to profess her faith to her family, friends and all others who needed encouragement. She had a wonderful sense of humor and shared it willingly with everyone she met. She was always quick with kind words to all who needed a lift.

A wonderful cook, she defined comfort food and was always ready to prepare meals for her family. Mom was a warm, caring and accepting person and found good in everyone she met. Ruth Snow was a beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and great-grandmother.
