Ruth Ellen Dean Obituary
It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Ruth Ellen Dean (Durham, North Carolina), born in Richwood, West Virginia, who passed away at the age of 86, on May 29, 2022. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Ruth Ellen Dean to show support.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, Roy Corbett Spence and Nina Mildred Milam Spence; her husband George Lewis "Mike" Dean; her sister Phyllis Spence Perkins; her children, Susan (Chris LeGrand), Steven and Patrick (Missy); her sisters-in-law, Mary Ann Chambers (John) and Elizabeth Dean; her grandchildren, Andrew (Annie), Emily, Ben, Caroline, Alex, Courtney, Camryn and Kenan; and her great grandchildren, Brigid and Audrey. She was also cherished by many nieces, nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you donate in Ruth's honor to either ServeTrust Ministries, a Christian nonprofit that serves the marginalized in southeast India (http://www.servetrust.org) or the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (http://www.lls.org).
