Ruth Elizabeth Kirksey
November 29, 1916 - November 21, 2009

In loving memory of Ruth Elizabeth Kirksey, born November 29, 1916 in Rankin, IL and passed away November 21, 2009 in Sun City, AZ. An amazing woman who always placed family first. She was the epitome of strength and courage. Any who had the opportunity to be embraced by her were lucky. She always had a great attitude and a funny joke even when life was tough. The recent addition of a great-grandson has been the highlight of her days.

Survivors include her daughters Loanne and Linda, grand-daughter Lindsey, great-grandson Xander and step-daughter Darnel. She will be missed but never forgotten.

Services will be held at Sunland Mortuary, 15826 Del Webb Blvd. Sun City, AZ, on November 28, 2009 at 2:00 P.M.
