Ruth Pelke
Ruth Pelke was the kind of Christian we all would like to be.
I remember the case well now and yes, she was praying for them as they stabbed her to death. I can’t think of a better example of Christ’s love.
If her son or grandson had a chance to ask Ruth Pelke what she thought of Paula Cooper’s death, she would have said, “I prefer to have stayed alive back then”.
No tears for psycho killers. Only tears for their victims.
