We Entrusted Ruth Johnson's Care To

Accent Funeral Home

A local landmark in Meridian, Accent Funeral Home has been serving the community since 1986. The business was first established with a vision to offer services in a comfortable, homelike atmosphere. This vision is reflected in our building, a Tudor-style home built in 1938 for a local postman. When remodeling the house to accommodate the funeral home, much care was taken to preserve the original architectural integrity of the building. The Accent Funeral Home holds a special relationship with the Meridian community and is sensitive to the area’s changing needs, providing service and friendship to comfort those we serve.

Leah Riggs Hellerich

I loved Aunt Ruth dearly even though I got to see her so little. I always enjoyed her Christmas letters and her spark for life. And I loved that she shared her name with me "Leah Ruth". She was a very special lady. Our entire family is saddened to hear of her passing. We would love to give a memorial gift in her memory. Do you have something special in mind, or would you mind if we donated to the Robert and Ophal Riggs Kansas Nebraska Good News Station which delivers the good news of Jesus Christ to western Nebraska, northern Kansas, and eastern Colorado. Please let us know. My brothers and I would like to have an address also to send cards. Thanks so much. Prayers for your family. May God guide you through this difficult time. With love and hugs - the family of Robert Riggs William Riggs Dennis Riggs Leah Riggs Hellerich 816-585-2892 or [email protected]
