Erna and I are truly saddened by the news of Annie Ruth's passing. Being away so much, we did not see her often but she was very special to us. Every time we did see her she made us feel very special. Her passing will not only leave a void in our lives, but in the hearts of everyone who knew her. Annie Ruth's memory will always remain deep within our hearts.
With deepest sympathy,
Vince and Erna Prawdzik

I could always count on Annie Ruth to "tell it like it is" during my years of ministry at St. Michael's. I will always fondly remember her as a pillar in her family. The entire family can count on my prayers as you grieve, and my celebration at her homecoming.

Annie Ruth will be truly missed by many people. Kirby, Harriet, and the rest of the family...our condolences are with you at this time. She was a great lady, and she's with Christ now in heaven.
The Sundays at McDonalds in Irmo will not be forgotten. Annie Ruth was always a bright spot there when we walked in. She always had a smile.
We love you, Annie Ruth and we'll see you again someday!

Thank you Aunt Doodle for being so amazing throughout my life! You were always an angel on earth and you will be greatly and deeply missed! Thank you for teaching me all you did and for being proud of me, even though I graduated from "the other school" and not Clemson. You truly are a symbol of a Clemson Tiger - A Determine Spirit! I love you always! ~ One of your "Doll Babies"

A most gracious, caring and loving TRUE FRIEND AND LADY has left us behind as she entered into Heaven Saturday morning. Together Annie Ruth and Fred meant so much to our family and set an almost unheard of example of Christianity and dedication to those they loved - which included the Lindler family - and of course, their beloved Clemson! Fred played football under Coach Frank Howard, who included Fred on his all-time favorite team. We presented Fred and Annie Ruth a letter from Coach Howard congratulating them on their 50th wedding anniversary! See y'all in Heaven. Carl, Mickey, Mike and Barry Lindler
