Ruth Hieronymus (above in red), of Atlanta, was recently recognized by Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn for exceptional volunteerism. Hieronymus received the award as a member of the Senior Corps, for her participation in the Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois Foster Grandparent program. As a volunteer in the program, she works with children on a one-on-one basis in the classroom. She is also very well known in Logan County for her tireless work with Relay For Life. Last year Ruth, known to most in this area as Ruth Ann, was the honorary chair and kicked off the annual walking event at Lincoln College. She is a cancer survivor several times over, and many testified that she was a great help to them in their battle and a true advocate for early detection.
