The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, August 2006
Ruth Jean Benedict, age 71, of Lake Odessa, went to be with her Lord on 
Sunday, August 27, 2006.  She was born in Ionia County on September 15, 1934 
to Robert and Laura (Sible) Cobb.  Jean was preceded in death by her first 
husband, Bernard Edgel, and her parents.  She was a long-time resident 
of “Little Venice,” Sunfield Township, living with her family at their store.  
Jennie and Bernie were married for 43 years.  Jeannie was also Sunfield 
Township Treasurer for several years.  In 2005 Jean married John Benedict of 
Lake Odessa.

Jean was a loving wife, and wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother, 
and sister.  She was a life-long member of the Church of Christ, where she 
served as Treasurer, Sunday School teacher, as well as serving on mission 
trips.  At home she loved having company and doting on her children, 
grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

Jean is survived by her second husband, John Benedict; son, Kim (Gloria) 
Edgel; daughters, Connie (Scott) Warren and Shannan (Nathan) Hull; six 
grandchildren, Angel (Jon) Clack, Gabriel Warren, Aaron Edgel, Levi Hull, 
Nekoda Hull, and Caleb Hull; two great grandsons, Jonathan and Jacob Clack; 
sister and brothers, Donna (Larry) Swarthout, Ronald (Colleen) Cobb, Larry 
(Sara) Cobb, and Robert Jr. (Lynda) Cobb; and several nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be held at the Ionia County Church of Christ (7831 N. Jordan 
Lake Road) from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, August 29, 
2006 and from 2 p.m. until the time of service on Wednesday.  The funeral 
service will be held at 3 p.m. on Wednesday at the Ionia County Church of 
Christ.  Burial will be in Sunfield Cemetery.  The family has suggested that

the support of Missions.  Arrangements were made by the Koops Funeral Chapel 
in Lake Odessa.
