Cherished memories of Ruth still come to my mind regularly!! And often making me long for one more chat. More & more as time passes on, I am convinced I was blessed beyond words to have had a such a heart-bonded friendship with Ruth for approximately 40 yrs.! I know of no one else as extraordinary, interesting & inspirational!! Absolutely unforgettable! She touched countless number of hearts & lives!!

Tom, Marcus & Each Family Member, I know personally it is hard to accept being separated from someone we have grown to love dearly. But how honored you must feel, to call her your wife, your mother, or your Oma, I am still in awe that God would give me the opportunity, through our sons about 35 yrs ago,, to meet Ruth, She added so much joy to my life. She must be one of the most intelligent, diligent, compassionate, kind but firm, outspoken people ever. Not to mention a far above average chef. As we shared life’s ups & downs, Ruth & I agreed our friendship was a gift from God, At times I hurt badly as I imagine being unable to continue our long weekly chats, On other days it seems she so near me. Knowing this is a very emotional time for you as well, remember my love & prayers continue for ea. of you,

My memories of Ruth will live within my heart. What a beautiful and special person she was - kind, funny, caring and a wonderful storyteller. I always enjoyed being near her on special occasions at gatherings for family and friends.
Tom and family, may your memories and your love of her give you comfort in the days to come. Patricia Carter

I remember when we use to stay weekends with tonta Ruth and uncle Tom in Detroit , I looked up to her so much because she was German the place of my birth I remember when she was pregnant and she use to say she is going to take a nap and she would be sleep before her head even hit the pillow ,,I didn't realize pregnancy had that effect but I was very young....the song put the line in the coconut and drank it all up reminds me of those times

Dear Tom, Marcus, Lucretia, Adrianna, Garrett, and Tina:

The world is a better place because your wife, mother, and grandmother lived. I don't think she ever met a stranger. I will never forget the first time I had a real conversation with her many years ago. First, I was enthralled by her beautiful accent when she spoke. :) Then I quickly realized what a wise and loving person she was and I cherished every encounter I had with her over the years. Her life could not have been easy, being born into wartime Nazi Germany. But you would never know it by talking to her. She was one of the most positive, faith-filled, and patriotic people I have ever met. She was truly an inspiration to everyone who was blessed to know her. She will be greatly missed, but we know she is in the presence of our Lord, and we will see her again one day in heaven. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Much love, Cyndie & Chuck Phillips

To the entire Latham family and extended family.... I send my love and care to each of you. I am so touched already by the stories I've read . I met Mrs. Ruth when we met Marcus (I was 16 so that was about 32 years ago). I remember almost immediately my mom and Mrs. Ruth hitting it off. (Which was good and bad...it meant us boys would get away with a lot less with another set of eyes on us). I will miss and always remember her smile, her laugh, her love of our country, and for God. I will also never forget her love and care for my mother who was sick and how she spent time with her. We love you all! , Tony Sdao.

Tom, Marcus, and Lucretia... this is Bree. You might not remember me or my sister, but I'm sure you remember my mom Debbie Brown-Standifer. Mrs. Ruth helped my mom find a house in 1990, across from her neighborhood, in Forest North. My mom and Mrs. Ruth hit it off from the very beginning, and I remember spending a lot of time at ya'lls house when I went to Hildebrandt and then Klein Oak High School. I always enjoyed going to visit Mrs. Ruth because she was not only a sweetheart, but she also liked to bake sweets. When I went to college I visited her a couple of times, and was so happy that she was able to make it to my wedding... I'll look for the picture and post it. She was a positive influence throughout my teenage years into adulthood, and I loved her very much. She will be dearly missed. I pray that God comforts you during this sad time, with the peace only He gives; which passes all understanding.

My mother Debbie wished for me to post this message:
Tom, Marcus, and Lucretia... I pray our Lord will comfort your hearts and restore your joy, leaving with you only the happy memories created by my sister Ruth. I met her in 1990 as my real estate agent for my first home in the Forest North subdivision. But she was much more to me. Ruth was a good friend to both me and my daughters, Bree and Deonna. Her home was always open to us and we had the privilege of sharing a part of her life. I am grateful, most, for our many conversations that revolved around the many blessings we shared because of our personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Although I moved away from Houston and lost contact with Ruth and Tom, I will miss her infectious smile and unselfish nature. She lives on with our Savior Jesus, now, which is the best part of all things! You have finished the race, my friend. Now enjoy your rest. You will always have a place in my heart, Miss Ruth!❤️ I love you! 😘💕 Debbie Brown-Standifer

We met Ruth about two decades ago and the friendship was magnetic instantly. This led to so many marvelous memories during the years. She lived with an infectious enthusiasm, wonderful sense of humor, generous and filled with wisdom.

Ruth had a way of focusing on someone with total attention, and a great delight in who they were and what they were saying. It was a gift of herself that she gave to others. She cherished and loved her family.

We lost a great friend, but the universe received a new beautiful star. Nothing is more painful in life as the separation of a jewel. When you speak of Ruth, speak not with tears, for thoughts of her should not be sad. Let memories of the times you shared give you comfort, for her life was very fulfilled. May God rest her soul. Our most sincere condolences to the family.
