She also loved to cook and looked forward to Sunday dinner when everyone was there with her. If the kitchen table was full, she was happy!

Senn of Whitmire; multiple grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren. Mama Ruth was predeceased by a granddaughter, Shelly Elizabeth Wicker, a brother Billy R.
