Ruthie Little Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on February 20, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Ruthie Little of Wood River, Illinois. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Ruthie Little to show support.

In the hush of twilight, as the stars twinkle in silent homage, we reflect on the legacy Ruthie leaves behind and her impact on the lives of her loved ones. Though Ruthie may no longer walk among us, her spirit lives on in the memories held dear by her family and friends, a guiding light that illuminates their paths in times of darkness.

She was predeceased by: her parents, Theodore "Teddy" Olen and Wyona Glenn (Kerley); and her husband Richard Robert Little. She is survived by: her daughters, Alicia Gross of Wood River and Robbi Little of East Alton; her grandchildren, Cara Pruitt (James), Tara Hall (Michael) and Reese Meier; and her great grandchildren, Jaelynn Pruitt, Jocelynn Pruitt, James Pruitt Jr., Chloe Pruitt, Quinn Hall and J. Hall.
