Ruth Bryson, 83, of Elkton, MD passed away February 2, 2016 at her home.
Born December 23, 1932 in Hinton, WV, Ruth was the daughter of the late Ollie and Haley (Ward) Gill. Ruth believed in enjoying life to its fullest and was a kid at heart. If the wheels were turning on a friend’s or family member’s car, you could guarantee Ruth was along for the ride. She enjoyed staying active and being out-and-about whether it was camping, shopping, or just traveling. Although she was a good cook, it was known that Ruth would clean an entire house before having to cook a meal. Through it all, Ruth’s most cherished moments were those spent with her wonderful family, and dear friends.
Ruth is survived by her two children, Tammy Birney and her husband, Douglas, Sr. and William R. Bryson and his wife, Sharon; six grandchildren, April George and her husband, John, Douglas R. Birney, Jr. and his wife, Maggie, Sarah Shelton, Nicholas Bryson, Micheal Plumley, and Austin Bryson; and two great grandchildren, Sunshine George and Sadie Birney. She was also survived by several nieces and nephews whom she cherished as her own and her longtime friend, Jacqueline Biggs.
Including her parents, Ruth was also preceded in death by her loving husband, William H. Bryson who passed away in 2003.
A celebration of life will be held at 2pm Tuesday, February 9, 2016 at R.T. Foard Funeral Home, P.A., 259 E. Main St., Elkton, MD 21921, where family and friends may visit beginning at 1pm. Burial will follow at Elkton Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made payable to Tammy Birney to help offset the burden of medical and funeral expenses and sent in care of the funeral home.
