 She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Webb and Ollie Hendley, 
sister, Eula Mae Foster and brothers, Howell Hendley, Hubert Hendley, Wallace

 Ruthie lived her entire life with praise and worship of our Lord and Savior. 
She strived to touch the hearts and minds of everyone she met to become true 
believers and to live through faith in God and His Son Jesus Christ. Next in 
her life were her precious children, grandchildren and family. Some of her 
most treasured moments were those spent loving and living for and through her 
children and grandchildren. She always strived to be a good example for them 
and to lead them in a Christian life. She would always have a large smile on 
her face when she talked of her children and their families. Being a mother 
and grandmother came second only to serving Christ. As her children grew up, 
they learned early in life that not only was she caring and loving, but she 
loved her children so much. She tried to instruct them in the right way to 
live. She would pray with her children at night time before sleep. Each 
morning she would have breakfast made. She encouraged each child as he/she 
grew up to do his/her best. She always said to each, "You can be what you want 
to be," and encouraged them to do whatever they did 100%. She was always full 
of life and loved all living things but had a special passion for flowers. She 
was always fixing arrangements for her church and she never came to see you 
without a bloom or twig of some kind in hand.
 Funeral services, with her daughter's, were held at Calvary Temple Baptist 
Church, Be miss Rd., Valdosta, on Feb. 28 at 11 a.m.
 Music Funeral Services of Lakeland was in charge of arrangements.
