Ruthie was one of my close friends. She is greatly missed. In 1971, she died as a result of a car wreck.Delbert Kenneth "Ken" Thompson
Ruth was such a sweet, gentle girl. We were good friends. She was my date for the Senior Prom.Margaret Anne Patterson (Dee)
Ruth Henderson enriched a decade of my life. I met her when we were sophomores at JTHS & remained great friends with her through UT & after graduation. To this day, I still seek out friends who had her zest for life. When Ruth died, she was planning a trip to Acapulco, had just bought a Corvette, was saving to buy a boat & had just adopted two kittens. I like to think that she got more out of her 25 years than many of us do in a lifetime. I loved her dearly.
