The Poisonwood Bible (Blog 4) A Family Tragedy

In Loving Memory of…
Ruth May


Ruth May Price, 5 years old, originally from the United States travelled to the Congo to help the Congolese villagers. Ruth May always held a positive outlook on life. She enjoyed being outside and learning more about nature. Ruth May died out back of the family home in Africa due to a Black Mamba Snake bite injury. Leading up to her death she contracted malaria and spent many weeks sick in bed 
with the disease.
Throughout Ruth May’s life she has held animals nearest and dearest to her heart. This past year has been especially remarkable when it comes to animal pets. Owls, snakes, various birds, and even a mongoose have come to call the Price house their home. In Ruth May’s free time she enjoyed walking through nature and spending time with her family.

Ruth May is survived by Mother Orleanna Price, Father Nathan Price, and Sisters Rachel, Adah, and Leah Price. Ruth May is the youngest of her three sisters.

Please join her friends, families, and animals as they celebrate the short life of Ruth May Price on the third day the sun rises out front of the Price family home.
Following the funeral will be a pot luck by the river and everyone is asked to please bring a dish to pass.
