A scheduled family visitation will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday Dec. 30, 2016 at the Resthaven Mortuary in Trenton.

She enjoyed working on genealogy and was part of the group of people who put together the Brimson History book. Mrs. Campbell was a member of the First Assembly of God Church.

Ruth loved the Lord with all her heart and her greatest joy was sharing her faith with others. She cared about her family and others and often visited patients in nursing homes. Her smile will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

A remarkable woman is gone now, and this world seems a little lessened somehow because she is not a part of it... a little less wise and great, a little less good and brave. May it help to know that she will never be forgotten by those whose lives she touched, and may your own cherished memories bring you comfort. Sincerely, Steven & Judith Urich & family
