Sister Ruth Wright Faust, widow of Pres. James E. Faust, dies at 86

Together Forever!

To the family of beloved Sister Ruth,
Our hearts go out to you at this time. Though you mourn her absence from you, nevertheless you must feel a joy to know she is now again with her sweetheart, President Faust.
I personally shall miss her sweet and welcoming smile and joyful nature. She was such a delight to have in our home, to travel with, and what a singular honor it was to have her for a dear and loving friend. I loved her with a deep love that one has for a saintly daughter of our Father in Heaven.

To the Faust Family,
The saints from Ibadan, Nigeria Send our love over these many miles. As the Fausts made so many visits here to Lagos. We loved and appreciated thier service and felt of thier love.
We joy in the fact they are now together again.

May Sister Ruth and Brother James E. Faust have a great Re-Uniting. Happy Together again Forever...

God Bless the Faust Family!

Another couple of love birds reunited again. I am sure they are hanging out with the Hinckleys now!

SO????

I served my mission in Rio de Janiero, Brazil from '75 - '77 when Pres. Faust was then an Assistant to the Twelve. He was the area superivosor for South America. They were such a nice couple. I remember Sister Faust being so personable, When I met her I felt like I had been a member of her ward my whole life. My best wishes to the Faust family in their losses is such a short period of time.

To ? -- She was a prominent citizen of Utah married to a prominent leader of the predominant church here, so it is newsworthy to a large portion of the population. Stop being so callous about news reporting of LDS church members. My heart goes out to her children who have lost both their parents within six months of each other. May the exemplary lives their parents led bring them comfort at this time in their lives.

To "?" Your lack of respect, sensitivity and concern for this article deserves no comment.

Thats sad to hear. President Faust is now with his beloved Ruth.

May the Faust and Wright family find comfort in knowing that they are having a happy reunion up in heaven.

condolences to the faust family from Scotland. What is goin on? our church are dropping like flies!!

Sister Faust was a special friend to my mother. They served together in the Relief Society in the Millcreek Stake many years ago. She was the sweetest lady and I am so grateful for her association with my mother. My deepest sympathies to the Faust Family. What a joyous reunion!

Thank you Pres and Sis Faust for your love and teachings. What wonderful role models we have lost here on earth. We seem to be loosing wonderful christlike people who we all should be trying our hardest to model our lives after. I do not understand anyone who would have a negative thing to say about such wonderful people who have made our world a better place and truly have been a role model to live our lives after. It is so sad to me that there is so much attention given to the evils of the world and not much is said, I guess it may be because the ones that would say anything about the evils are to busy following wonderful people like the Fausts, the Hinckleys, the prophets and apostles who try so hard and sacrifice all so that we will be inspired and through there council strive to make our lives better. Thank you to our wonderful role models we love you.

Behind every great man are two things, Great Parents, and a GREAT WOMAN. Thank you sister Faust.

With all due respect, we are no loosing anyone. They are alive, in a different sphere, but they still exist. For those who appreciate them, we should considered blessed for having the opportunity of knowing them, enjoyed them, and setting such a nice example to us. We know they love the church members very us and we are grateful for that. They live! that's the beauty of this gospel. They are being missed but we will meet them again and that time for all eternity. Isn't that great?

Is Colleen Maxwell the only living apostles widow now? I don't know if richard l evans widow is alive or noot still. Would be only one.

I felt tremendous respect and appreciation for Elder Faust ever since I read his book, "To Reach Even Unto You." It is comforting in times when so many marriages experience severe challenges to witness that it does not have to be that way, but that sweetness can become the essence of a relationship between man and woman throughout an entire life. This model inspires us and elevates our thoughts so much higher than all the series and novels currently portraying couples.

A wonderful marriage we should all aspire to, an example of true dedication and unconditional love to one another.

Our condolences to the Faust and Wright families at the passing of their beloved Ruth. Sister Faust was a sweet loving woman who exemplified Christlike love. How blessed we are to know of the reunion that has taken place with her husband and family and the great reunion that will occur when we all meet again. Thank you Sister Faust for your wonderful example.

I am sad to hear of Sister Faust's passing, but happy to know of their joyful reunion in heaven. It is the beautiful examples of our leaders lives that give us hope for the future, and an example that we can all strive to achieve ourselves. What a special couple they were/are to have such a wonderful and deep love that a simple thing like a photograph can still bring tears to one of them after so many years of marriage. How blessed they are to have shared such a profound and special relationship. I know Heavenly Father will be so pleased at the way they lived their lives and the wonderful example they have left for family, friends and all peoples of the world to follow. I pray that Heavenly Father will wrap the Faust family in the arms of His love at this sad time for them.
