N. Ruth Pannell
February 27, 1915 July 14, 2004

A memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 20, at 
Bakersfield First Assembly of God Church, 4901 California Avenue in 
Bakersfield for N. Ruth Pannell, who was born in Waland, Tennessee, February 
27, 1915 and passed away in Bakersfield, California, on July 14, 2004. A 
graveside service at Hillcrest Memorial Park will be held at 10:30 a.m., 
preceding the memorial service. Pastors Fred Cottriel and Steve Hunt will 
officiate. 

Visitation will be 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Monday the 19th at Hillcrest.

Ruth was the beloved wife of Morgan A. Pannell for 69 years, and the much 
loved mother of Jerry Wayne Pannell, predeceased, and of Richard Lynn Pannell 
and daughter-in-law, Cher Ami. She was blessed with and thoroughly enjoyed six 
grandchildren and their spouses, Arrel Pannell, Kay and Shaun Headley, Jason 
and Kasey Pannell, and Nicole Pannell of Bakersfield; Mindy Pannell of 
Chicago, and Jennifer and Daryl Grasinger of Central Asia. She leaves behind 
seven great-grandchildren: Stephanie and Kaylie Marshall, Shelbie and Malorie 
Serdinsky, Crissie Pannell and Katrina and Joshua Grasinger. She is survived 
by her brother and sister-in-law, Howard and Vivian Reed of Reno, Nevada. 
Pallbearers will be Arrel and Jason Pannell, Phillip Poteete, Steven Flake, 
Bill Patterson and Jeff Himenes.

Ruths life centered around her family, friends and church, Bakersfield First 
Assembly of God. She was known for her wonderful cooking, hospitality, love of 
people, and love for her God. She loved to mentor young women and even at the 
age of 89 years, she enjoyed friendships with people of all ages. She had a 
lifelong interest and love of missions and devoted much time to Womens 
Ministries and in correspondence with missionaries. When we think of her, we 
remember coffee in pretty China cups, fresh flowers on the table, a homemade 
dessert every day, a warm welcome to all who walked through her door, and her 
frequent laughter.

We will always love you.

In lieu of flowers, Nana-Mom-Ruth would be so pleased to have contributions 
made to the Bakersfield First Assembly of God World Missions Fund, 4901 
California Avenue, Bakersfield, California 93309.

And now abideth Faith, Hope, Love;

but the greatest of these is Love. I Cor. 13
