Publish in a newspaper
Ruth's journey began as the cherished daughter of Corbie M. and Minnie Wilson Deweese. Her early years in Butler County were filled with the laughter and love of a large family. Though she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Glenward Erdist Daugherty, and her seven siblings, Corbie Deweese Jr., Kenneth Deweese, Dorene Dusky, Doris Coleman, Rollie Deweese, Ed Deweese, and Bobby Deweese.
She is survived by her two children, Ronald Daugherty (Betty) and Sandra Brooks, both of Morgantown, KY. Ruth's joy was multiplied through her three grandchildren, William Givens (Jennifer), Jennifer Piper (Dean), and Jeremy Daugherty, all of Morgantown, KY. Her four great-grandchildren, Emma Givens, Lucas Givens, Anthony Sublett, and Kaylee Piper, all of Morgantown, KY. Ruth is also survived by her brother, Danny Deweese (LoRei), and a host of nieces and nephews.
Ruth's life was a testament to her faith and the simple pleasures that bring richness to our days. She was a member of Mt. Vernon Missionary Baptist Church, she lived her faith-filled life with grace and compassion. Her role as a homemaker was one she embraced with enthusiasm, infusing her home with the aromas of her cooking and the beauty of her sewing. Ruth's spirited nature shone brightly as she relished in outdoor activities such as camping, dancing, and fishing, sharing these joys with family and friends.
