LaRuth was a member of the Supreme Council of the House of Jacob. She accepted Christ at an early age. She loved the Lord and instilled that in her children. She was a homemaker who was blessed to stay home and raise her children. She loved cooking and preparing to receive guests, as well as, her family.
