Ruth Aline Rich's Obituary

A native of Florida she was born to the late Arthur and Bartha DeLidle. Ruth met and married Joseph Rich, who preceded her in death. She worked at Bay Street Pharmacy. Ruth loved to read her Bible and many, many books. She loved to visit with all and tell the stories of her simple life and memories to all that would listen. Ruth also enjoyed baking, especially fruit cake at Christmas time. She would share anything she had with anyone. Ruth loved to watch and feed her squirrel and bird friends. She grew flowers as beautiful as she was. Ruth was very independent, caring for herself and never complaining. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her brothers, Clarence, Leonard, Frank and Elmo DeLidle, sons, Robert and David and a her granddaughter Wanda Ann Rich and a niece, Sharon Cheseborough.
