She was a homemaker and also worked on the family farm, as well as in the family business, Haddock Logging.
Ruth was preceded in death by her husband, Garland; and a brother, Jack Taylor.
She is survived by her two sons, Steven C. Haddock and wife, Patricia, and Chris G. Haddock and wife, Natalie; grandchildren, Ashley N. Haddock (Lauren); Christy L. Jones (Andrew); and Drew Haddock (Emily); two great-grandchildren, Abby R. Haddock; and Grayson C. Jones; and special friend, Patsy Forrest of Vanceboro.
