She was preceded in death by her
parents, one infant brother, and one sister: Sarah

Ruth was a 1962 graduate of Atlanta High School. She
then attended Elkhart University where she studied
dental nursing. A librarian and teacher at heart,
Ruth spent most of her life working with students
and children at the ISU Milner Library, the Atlanta
Christian Church Pre-School (for 25 years) and the
Atlanta Public Library, from which she retired.
She was a lifelong member of the Atlanta United
Methodist Church and loving volunteer with the
United Methodist Women. Ruth was a charter member of
the Simply Tasteful Red Hat chapter with her sister
and many lifelong friends. Among her many volunteer
endeavors, she is remembered fondly as a Cub Scout
leader, Brownie leader, and Sunday School teacher.
Memorials in Ruth’s memory may be made to the
Atlanta United Methodist Church, St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital, or the American Cancer Society.
Final arrangements are entrusted with Quiram-Peasley
Funeral Home of Atlanta.
