Ruth Hardison

Services for Mrs. Ruth Hardison, of Monticello are 2:30 pm Monday, November 15, 2021

at Bethel Baptist Church in Monticello with visitation from 12:00 until the time of service and burial at church cemetery.

Ruth Gaskins Hardison, 71, of Monticello, passed away at her home on November 12, 2021.

Ruth was born April 17, 1950, to Ronnie Gaskins and Mamie Jane Ross in Kinston, North Carolina.

Ruth was a graduate of Plymouth High School. On October 31, 1966,

Ruth met Asa Hardison at a Halloween dance at Jamesville High School.

They were married on December 29, 1970. Ruth and Asa went on to have two children,

Casey Hardison-Pevey and Jamie Hardison. Throughout her life, she was a full-time mother and wife.

Ruth was known by all as a confidant, advisor, and friend. Ruth loved music, reading, and, above all, her family.

She especially loved spending time with her two granddaughters, Sydney and Abbey Pevey.

It was a comfort knowing she was in the world. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

    Mrs Ruth was such a sweet lady I met Mrs Ruth several years ago when her and my husband were in physical therapy together and every time I seen her after that she would always ask about my husband and how he was doing. She will be missed
