RUTH WARD WALKER HUDDLESTON

A home going service will be held for Ruth Ward Walker Huddleston at 11:00 am on 
July 16th at Souls Harbor United Pentecostal Church in Calhoun. Interment will 
follow at Salem Cemetery under the direction of Griffin Funeral Home. Friends 
and family are invited to the visitation that will also be held at Souls Harbor 
on July 15th from 6:00-8:00pm to share their memories with the family. Ruth was 
born on September 29, 1922 and passed from this life to her eternal reward on 
July 9, 2014 in Delta, Colorado.

She was preceded in death by husbands Ted Walker and George Huddleston, son, 
Raleigh Walker, grandson, DeJay Sawyer and great grandson Stephen Head, 
brothers; John Ward, Berkley Ward, Howard Chamness, Raymond Chamness, Glen 
Chamness and sister Estelle McGee.

She was survived by daughters Ruby Cavaness of Calhoun, Jarvis Campbell and 
husband Roy of Delta, Colorado, Iva Sawyer and husband Ralph of Savannah, 
Tennessee, Georgia Sanderson and husband Mike of Eros, sons Carroll Walker and 
wife Sue of Butte, Montana, Leonard Walker and wife Judy of Eros and daughter-
in-love Jeri Savell and husband Pete of Minden, 21 grandchildren, 42 great 
grandchildren and ten great-great grandchildren. She was also survived by 
brothers C.W. Ward and Rodney Ward along with sister Linda Johnston all of New 
Mexico and sister-in-law Ovella Huddleston of Texas.

Momma loved God, her family and whomever her family loved. She was faithful to 
the church, and worked wherever needed. Her hospitality was known to all who had 
the privilege to visit her at home. She enjoyed gardening and sharing the fruits 
of her labor, and was quick with a smile, a laugh, a hug, or an encouraging 
word. Although she faced many of her own obstacles, she was always quick to help 
others. She touched many lives, and memories of her will live on in generations 
to come.

Most super heroes come dressed in spandex, but our hero wore dresses. And even 
though she wasn't able to leap a tall building in a single bound there was never 
a mountain she wasn't able to climb. She left a us heritage filled with faith, 
prayer, love and shoes that no one will ever be able to fill. We have been 
blessed to call her Momma, Grandma, Great-Grandma and friend.
