Ruth Jinkins

Grandma was the most amazing person and welcomed me with open arms into this family many years ago. She was always kind to me and I will always miss her sweet spirit and soul. We laughed, cried, talked, played cards and games together and she always made me feel like I was another grandchild and friend. She was the most giving, loving, funny, adorable person that you could have the privilege of walking into your life and is the epitome of what a grandparent should be. I will miss you, but am so, so grateful for the time I was given with you. Until we meet again Grandma, enjoy Heaven and have fun with your family. Death ends a life, not a relationship. I know you will be waiting for me when I get there. I love you big as the sky.

Dear Jayne, Karen, Lynn, Amy and Family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Ruth was one of the most amazing, gracious and giving people I have ever met. Her kindness knew no bounds and she will be profoundly missed! You are in our prayers. Love, Bob, Barbara, Emma and Eve

Never has truer words been spoken than "a short visit at her home usually turned into several hours, at least one meal and a card game or two." One of my favorite memories is being invited for a Wednesday night meal. I was told it was going to be just Dave, Ruth, Lynn, Laurel and me. I was expecting what most families would consider a Wednesday night meal, but oh no not at the Jinkinses. A full Thanksgiving meal kept coming out of the oven. Turkey, dressing, corn, green bean casserole, buns, and pies. For the 5 of us. Then the fun really began...little by little people kept coming in the door, more and more. Laurel said every time the door opened Short Legs just shook her head. Dave ended up setting up card tables so everyone had a place to sit. Food galore, people, conversation and laughter, there was always laughter. You have been blessed with so many memories and you were so good to make sure your Mom was able to be at the center of many of those memories. You will cherish them more and more and they will carry you through.

Family of Ruth Jinkins, Our sincere sympathy for your loss. I just had a nice visit with Ruth on Nov 18th. at the First English Lutheran Church. Her smile and her laugh and all the hugs will be cherished. Sue and Neil McKenna

Dear Lynn and family, We are so sorry for your loss. You have our deepest sympathy. May God bless you and your family. Love, Charlotte and Donna
