Nineteen years ago on June 14, Ruth Bell Graham stepped into the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, at age 87.
A devoted wife, mother and follower of Christ, she lived a life marked by deep faith and steadfast love. While Billy Graham preached the Gospel around the world, she faithfully upheld his calling in prayer behind the scenes.
Billy Graham once said, “I have been asked the question, ‘who do you go to counsel for spiritual guidance?’ My answer: My wife, Ruth. She is the only one I completely confide in.” His words reflect the depth of her spiritual wisdom and the quiet strength she brought to their marriage, their family and their shared ministry.
Her legacy of faith and devotion continues to inspire many.
