Makeba and Franklin Ruff Family Needs Fund

First Baptist Church of Stilwell pastor, Franklin Ruff, lost his sweet wife, Makeba, unexpectedly on February 16th.  The Ruffs have 3 elementary-age sons.  Makeba was a special soul who could see you as a beautiful child of God. 

Makeba did not have any life insurance and wished to be buried in Mississippi. Franklin will also be raising 3 boys as a single dad without any family in the area so will need a lot of love and support – financial and otherwise. 

An account has been set up to assist with immediate needs - Makeba’s burial and transportation - and ongoing needs of the family during this difficult time of transitioning to a new normal.  Please donate generously. Your gift will show Franklin and the boys love and care.

We are estimating an imminent need of around $15,000 with ongoing needs exceeding $25,000.
