Ruth Scott

Ruth Scott, age 87 of St. Clair Shores, passed away January 9, 2017. She was born on July 8, 1929; the daughter of Jefferson and Blanche (nee McHone) Russell. Ruth had a gentle warmth about her and always had a story to tell. Not only was she easy to be with, she had an incredible moral compass with a relentlessly supportive nature. She was her grandchildren's biggest cheerleader and she never missed a game or event. A southern gal, Ruth cooked amazing southern food; including chicken & dumplings, homemade rolls, cornbread and banana pudding. Her recipes were staples at every family party. The majority of Ruth's life was a true love story. Her husband, Buddy, of 68 years predeceased her by 7-1/2 months, but their lives together were filled with genuine adoration for one another. Never apart, they raised their family, devoted their lives to Jesus Christ and inspired others with faith and kindness. Ruth is dearly loved and will be deeply missed. Beloved wife of the late William "Buddy". Loving mother of William Lee Jr. (Cathy), Leonard Eugene (Debbie) and Kristine Omara. Treasured grandmother of Eric, Nicole, Kelly, Julie (Jason) Bennett, Jacqueline and Stephanie (George Jr.) Boussie. Proud great-grandmother of Jackson Lawson, Noah Maniaci, Becca and Tyler Boussie and Brooklyn and Blake Bennett. Dear sister of Alice Faye and the late Robert, James, Eugene, Hoover, Leonard, Grace and Phyllis. Ruth is also survived by many caring nieces and nephews.
