Ruth M. Shipp

May 22, 1933 — March 3, 2019

Ruth Shipp (nee Simpson) of Saint Charles, MO, passed away at the age of 85 on Sunday, March 3, 2019. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of sixty-seven years, Thomas A. Shipp; her parents, Samuel and Harriet Simpson; and her six sisters and one brother.

Ruth is survived by her children, Carol (David) Cosby, Dennis (Sandy) Shipp, Wayne (Connie) Shipp, Cindy (Craig) Glenn, and Kim (Steve) Curran; her grandchildren, Shawn (Heather) Cosby, Christina Cosby, David Shipp, Becky (Greg) Staton, Amy (John) Stringer, Randy (Angel) Shipp, Tracey (Jim) Kemple, Beth Glenn, Thomas Curran, and Jonathan Curran; and eleven great-grandchildren. Ruth is also survived by her devoted canine companion, Opie.

Ruth was a devoted wife and mother. She loved the Lord and lived out her faith. The family was, and will always be, inspired by her strength, the pride she took in everything she did, and how her greatest joy was her family. Ruth will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Ruth’s hobbies included fishing (she loved to fish and often out-fished her husband), crocheting, playing cards and games, shopping, cooking, hosting family parties, and traveling. Her favorite vacations were her Alaska cruise, Gospel cruises, and her annual family trips to Florida.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to Mid Rivers Christian Church or to the donor’s choice.
