    I remember meeting you when I was just a little girl. I always looked forward to sitting by you in church for two reasons: first, I knew I was going to play in make-up and second, we’d have some great laughs. You were always so fun, kind, and full of life. I admired the way you embraced life with such joy. And you were the epitome of a fun , loving and nurturing mother. While I’m heartbroken by what feels like an untimely departure, I find comfort knowing that you’re now experiencing a happiness greater than ever before. Love you, Rootie. Until we meet again ❤️

    The the Hardermqn Family, I am deeply saddened the passing of Ruthie. When I received this news, I was shocked, in complete disbelief, and was crushed. Ruthie was an amazing person, to everyone that knew her know she had nothing words of encouragement, respect, and heart to share with you. I am going to missed her contagious laughter she had when we used to work together, and her amazing smile. As a former Starwood employee I can honestly say that we all at a lost, and we all are feeling sad. To the family I pray that you find strength and peace in this difficult time as you are dealing with the lost of a wonderful human being. May God continue to bless you as you say goodbye to Ruthie.

    Ruthie was such a wonderful person with an infectious laugh. While working with her she made our time the best. When I last spoke with her it was as though we hadn’t missed a beat. I’m truly in shock and it’s very hard to believe.. I want to send my condolences and prayers to her husband and children. I always enjoyed her posts about their travel adventures. She definitely gave her family memories to last a life time. May God cover her family and friend during this time. God bless Ruthie and May she rest peacefully.

  • Shemeka Green Posted November 13, 2024 6:20 pm

    Ruthie was one of the greatest creations that God has made. My life is so much better, because of encountering such a dear, genuine, sweet. loving, funny, caring, and spiritual person. I met her in ’96 while working at Publix in Hunter’s Creek. I never imagined us being coworkers, would blossom into the bond that we had. I will forever love and miss my dear friends. I’m praying for the family’s strength. David, Prynce, Charles, I love you dearly and will continually pray for you.

  • Serena Frierson Posted November 22, 2024 8:23 am
