Mrs. Parsons died on Thursday, January 12, 2017 at Summerford Nursing Home surrounded by her family. She was born December 2, 1925, in Morgan County to Autna Wray and Eddie Mae (Overstreet) Wray. She was preceded in death by her parents and husbands: Thomas Bramlett, Calvin Walker and Paul Parsons, one son: Michael Glenn Walker, three sisters: Modell Garrison, Marie Bramlett and Montez Wray and a brother: Selvin G.

Ruth loved her family and friends, her church, and her Lord. She worked most of her life at various jobs including The Arsenal, Oak Ridge Grocery, Super X, Walmart and as a senior companion. She was a great cook, specializing in chicken and dumplings, and desserts like chocolate pie, preparing many for family and for church suppers at Southwest Baptist Church in Hartselle. She loved to play Rook, grow flowers and plants and just being outside. She was active in teaching classes at Walden’s Chapel, Lebanon Baptist and Southwest Baptist Church. Her smile and kindness will be missed by all.
The family would like to thank Dr. Ghandi, the nurses and all the caregivers at Summerford Nursing Home for their loving care.
