Ruth Henderson Hood Smith

Dear Hood Family,
I am a friend of Jimmys and have heard such praise and great love for his "mamma" from him over the years. From Jimmys' words she was a very loving and energetic person who loved life for the 98 years that she lived. I am sorry for your loss as I know you have never been without her. Pray to her when you are fearful or confused and she will guide you.

I remember a most wonderful Aunt who always treated me with great kindness and love especially when I spent the summers at her beach house. I can reflect on those summers filled with her laughter and share a laugh. My heart goes out to Fred, Llewellyn, Jimmy, Bobby, Scotty and all the grand and great grandchildren. Your cousin, Jules Smith

I will always remember her laughter and love for my Mother, Barbara. Will miss her.

Charleston has lost a true lady!
We will forever treasure our memories of Ruth and her positive influence on our lives. She was a dear, dear lady ... Our heartfelt sympathy to her family,
Beverly, Joe and Lawson

Jenny, Ryan & Mr & Mrs.Scott Hood,my thoughts & prayers are with you & your family.

Ruth and Fred were loving grandparents to namesake Nona Ruth Hood. She loved to visit Charleston. When I was married to Jim Hood, Ruth and Fred guided me in the art of entertaining and decorating. They tutored me well and I have used the lessons all my life. Nona Ruth and I send love and blessings to Fred and the family. Sincerely, Laneri Walker Hood

A wonderful aunt, a very unique person who will always be in our memory.
Love,
Joey and Marilyn
