Together they raised their two children in a loving home. They lived most of their lives in Marietta, Ga. She was a devout Christian lady that served our Lord by being a shinning example to all that knew her.

She is survived by her children, son Royce Gary Pethel, daughter Devron Joy Pethel Good; grandchildren Lisa Pethel Campbell, Royce Robert Good, Daniel Ashley Good, Christopher Pethel and 15 great grand and many great great grandchildren who affectionately knew her as Munner.

I am Elaine Browning Ellis and for as long as I can remember Ruth was always smiling and saying how glad she was to see me. No matter how long it had been. I always felt the love as she made that statement. In the summer as a child I would go to Marietta and stay with them and Joy and I shared lots of good times. She lived in the city to me and I was in the country. There was always so much to do. At the end of the day Ruth and Royce were there to share it all with.
I loved them with my whole heart and I will forever miss them terribly.
Go in peace, Ruth, tell Dad, Jack, Mawma and Popaw, Rilla I love and miss them too.
