Ruthie’s beautiful smile lit up a room and her laughter was contagious. She was kind, generous, loving, had a huge heart and always made everyone feel at home around her. Steve was the love of her life, her best friend, and favorite person to be around. She enjoyed spending time with her family, bragging about her grandkids, playing with her grandchildren, singing, dancing, spending time at the lake and camping.

Ruthie is survived by her husband of 42 years, Steve Smith, of the home; mother-in-law, Joy Smith Molder, of Green Forest; loving mother of Brent and wife Cassie Smith, of Green Forest, Anika and husband Jarrod Phillips, of Green Forest, and Alisha and husband Scott Bailey, of Green Forest; proud Memmy to Leksi Bailey, Mattie Phillips, Hayden Bailey, Barrett Phillips, Parker Smith, Anslee Bailey and Bella Phillips; sisters, Shirley Baughman, of Harrison, Edith and husband LD Blevins, of Alpena, Wilma and husband Dan Ohler, of Alpena, Phyllis and husband Ronnie McNair, of Alpena, and Laura and husband Rob Fraracccio, of Rogers; brothers, Tommy and Bill Snow, of Green Forest, JR Snow and wife Fairye Sue, of Green Forest, and Rick Snow and wife June, of Alpena; and a host of nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Rayburn and Essie Snow; brother, Fred (Sonny) Snow; brother-in-law, Johnny Baughman; and father-in-law, Roy Pence Smith.
