RUTH LODGE Obituary
Ruth resided most permanently in the Colonial Heights area but spent many memorable years traveling the world with her husband on military assignments. She was a wonderful storyteller with a mind sharp for details and a heart grateful for it all. She enjoyed cooking and gardening at her home and had a natural talent for art. Ruth was a charter member of Swift Creek Baptist Church in Colonial Heights, VA, and her church family was an extension of her own.
She is survived by her grandchildren, Jay Shenton Lodge Jr (Kim), Edward Kaylor Lodge, Ruth Ann Banks (Brett), and Andrew David Lodge; sister-in-law, Marian Marshall Lodge; nephews, Mark Alan Landa (Francine) and Jeffrey Sands Lodge; nieces, Betti Brockwell Fall (Bob), Dayle Brockwell Nicol (Bill), Gayle Brockwell Lancaster (Jim), Peggy Brockwell Watts, and Beth Elizabeth Lodge Baxley (Terry); eight great-grandchildren; and 19 great-nieces and nephews.
A graveside service will be held at Southlawn Memorial Park, 1911 Birdsong Road, S. Prince George, Virginia 23834 on November 27, 2020 at 1 p.m. Donations in Ruth's name to Swift Creek Baptist Church in Colonial Heights would be appreciated in lieu of flowers. Funeral arrangements made by the Colonial Heights Chapel of E. Alvin Small Funeral Homes and Crematory, 2033 Boulevard, Colonial Heights, Virginia 23834.

Ruth was a dear friend and mentor. We met as neighbors in 1979. She taught me how to bake and can vegetables and fruits. We spent many summers making pickles and jams and many holidays baking cookies and pies. I loved seeing the slides of her European travels. She was like an auntie to me. I have wonderful memories and will miss her very much.
