To Annie Ruth Clarke's family. She was a beautiful lady with a wonderful sweet smile. As a child, I would go up the street to the store. No matter the day I was always greeted with a smile. Prayers to you all during this time.

Annie Ruth has been a part of my entire life. Starting at Lawrenceville Baptist Church. She was such a sweet person. To know her was to love her. She will live through our memories and stories and tears and laughter. I’m glad she is at peace now in the loving arms of Jesus Christ her savior. Sending peace and love to Ruth Anne and Christie and Mark.
