“Today, my wife, Annie, and I are mourning the death of Mrs. Ruth Ann Messick, a longtime, close friend of our family. In 1988, Ruth Ann and her husband Bobby opened their home to Annie while she worked as a volunteer, and they have been dear friends ever since. Ruth Ann lived life actively and fully, as a loyal volunteer with the 4H, the Farmington Volunteer Fire Companay and her church. She also became a community fixture and an active member of the Kent County Democratic Party over many decades.
“Ruth Ann touched the lives of so many Delawareans, and today, my thoughts and prayers – along with those from all across our state - are with the Messick family.”
