One of the oldest and faithful members of the Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Church, her 
favorite saying was, "My God is a ROLLING STONE, He'll Roll away your troubles 
and ease your worried mind."

Cherished and divine memories of "Mother", as she was known, will forever be 
remembered by a step daughter, Beatrice Cross of Morgan City, LA and one 
sister, Jeanette Daniels of Franklin, LA and a host of family members with more 
than six generations of grandchildren; as well as several other nieces, nephews 
and other relatives and friends.

Ruth was preceded in death by her parents, Anais Mitchell and Katie Williams-
Mitchell; her husband, Charlie Cross; one daughter, Vealla Guidry; five 
sisters, Rosie Smith, Ida McGuire, Katie Brown, Irene Reedom Jones, and Linda 
Poole; four brothers, Thomas Mitchell, Sidney Mitchell, Clarence Mitchell and 
Webster Mitchell.

The family wishes to give a special thank you to the nursing staff and 
administration of the Iberia Manor South Nursing Home. Mother left a wonderful 
legacy and will be greatly missed.
