By the time this post appears I’ll be attending the funeral of my dear friend, Ruth Owens.
Blogging will resume later today.
Ruth Ann Owens
December 29, 1956 – October 7, 2011
Lady Liberty
I wrote about Ruth here when she passed away this past weekend.
She blogged here at Gateway Pundit as Lady Liberty. She commented as Chisum, after her cat.
I am including her obituary from the Las Cruces paper.
Ruth Ann Owens, 54, of Las Cruces, died Friday, October 7, 2011. She was born December 29, 1956 in Baltimore, MD to Michelina and Richard Mellinger . She moved to Las Cruces in 2005 from Chadds Ford, PA.
She was a political blogger and citizen journalist for “The Gateway Pundit” blog and will be missed by her many fans from all over the world. Her passion was politics and she dedicated her life to making this country a greater place to live for her grandchildren and all future generations. She will be missed by all those who knew and loved her.
