Ruth grew up in Limestone, TN in the 1920's and 1930's. Her mother died of a bowel obstruction in 1924 in Vilas, NC. Her father married Edith Waddell, a school teacher, who was always kind and caring for the family.
During the 1930's, Ruth began working for the U.S. Government in Washington, DC. She was instrumental in getting the Rural Electrification Administration to provide power and telephone service for the area in Limestone by going door-to-door to get resident signatures on a petition that she hand carried to Washington, D.C.
During World War II, she worked in the Personnel Department for the Department of the Army and traveled to Germany after VE Day. She returned to the U.S., was married, and worked for the U.S. Army Material Command Headquarters in Alexandria for the Office of HeadQuarters Command Counsel.
She led a difficult life in the 1950's and 1960's with her husband an alcoholic and raising four sons almost by herself. Paul's alcoholism was believed the result of his military service in World War II flying a B-17 bomber in 30 missions over Europe and being shot down twice.
From the early 1980's until her death, she lived in the Dallas, Texas area near son Michael and his family. She was a loving grandmother and was called "Grandma Honey". We miss her a lot and she always remains in our prayers.
