MeMe was an extraordinary lady, always with a smile and a warm hug. I would drive in from West Texas to be greeted with dancing eyes and a laugh that could take your breath away.
Rest easy sweet lady and now you are free of pain and walking next to Jesus in your own garden. I love you and will always miss you.
Ruth Iris and my mom Polly were so close in their early years and while the miles sometimes separated them, they remained close in their hearts. I will never forget how Ruth Iris made me feel like I had family nearby the year I worked in Shreveport. I also remember well her and her brother Charlie and his wife Maddie coming up here to North Mississippi to my house for my mom's 75th birthday in 2007. Rest well Ruth Iris. There are so many familiar arms waiting to welcome you in heaven. We will miss your generation.

My sweet grandmother was the most beautiful and loving soul I have ever had the pleasure to know! The nearly 40 years that I had with her are irreplaceable. I love you MeMe and will be dearly missed.
