In Loving Memory of Ruth Marilyn Loden

On October 4, 2021, our beloved mom departed to be with Dad in paradise.  She is survived by her three children: Wanda, Danny and Marie; one sister Elaine Parrish; ten grandchildren and one great-granchild.

Our Mom was born January 2, 1928, in Upstate NY, where she met and was married for 62 years to our father Quitman "Fuzz" Loden.  During the early years of their marriage, they raised their first two children while Dad served in the U.S. Air Force.  During his time of service, they traveled and lived in many beautiful places including the southwestern United States and some tropical Pacific Islands.  Eventually, they settled in Upstate NY to raise their third child. During their retirement, they spent many years traveling the US with their camper and pets, and lived in MS for many years. Throughout her nearly 94 years, Mom loved the Lord with her life, befriending people of all races and cultures.  In her later years, as a widow, she generously donated to many charitable organizations.  And most importantly, as she said in her final words to one of us, she instructed her family "To keep loving the Lord."

We love you Mom. We know this is not good-bye.  One day we will join you in our true, eternal home.
