She was a resident of St. Bernard Parish for 40 years before relocating to Jayess, MS after Hurricane Katrina. She leaves behind her beloved husband of 30 years, Allen Pasqual Morales. For over three decades, Allen was her rock. She was his love, his soulmate and to us she was his world as he was hers.

She is also survived by a host of cousins, nieces and nephews. Former wife of the late Arthur "Mike" Escott. Ruth had a large heart and was always lending a hand to those in need. She had a high energy level and was always on the go. She enjoyed going on cruises and vacations with family, going to parades and festivals, playing cards, camping and boating and of course, playing BINGO and taking bus trips to local casinos where she was luckier than most. The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff of Ameracare Family Hospice and Home Health, especially Danielle Tate, Carmela Ellis and Candace Henderson for the loving care given and their support. A private memorial service and interment will be held at a later date. The online guestbook is available at www.leitzeaganfuneralhome.com.
