Ruthie was a hard worker, a loving and giving mother and loved her grands and great grandchildren. She was a great cook who hated cooking, had a great sense of humor and made people laugh and smile. While hospitalized the nurses loved coming to her room not just to treat her but to hear what she had to say.
She was proceeded in death by her parents and all of her siblings, John H. Rodgers, Raymond Rodgers, Will Rodgers, Joe Rodgers, Bessie Brewington, Ruby Ford, Erma Rodgers and Viola Rodgers. Her memory will be cherished by her children, Sharon Monroe, Tommy Rodgers and Elaine Rodgers; grandchildren, Robert J. Monroe (Debbie), Tavara Green, Ben Rodgers, Amber Nickerson (Louis) and Christopher Rodgers; great grandchildren, Christopher James Rodgers, Sharon Monroe, Amazjaei Rodgers, Louis Nickerson, III, Alazyia Rodgers, Ja’Kiyah Rodgers, Akayton Rodgers and Avan “Plunkum” Nickerson along with other family and friends.

Diana Grinage Aunt Ruthie you will truly be Missed, Forever Loved Tricia.
Mama Ruthie was a rare human being. I was very fortunate to have her as my mother-In-Law. She was very kind and always encouraged me to stay strong when life was so hard for me. When I decided to relocate from Corpus Christi to North Carolina, I had no dime to my name and I ran to her for help. Without hesitation She went to her credit Union and borrowed $75 for me to use for my trip. That was my lifeline for a new start in life and I owe her endless gratitude for that singular act of empathy. May God grant her eternal rest in his kingdom. Good night Ma.
