Ruth Marie (Shawver) Pickens Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on March 19, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Ruth Marie (Shawver) Pickens of Follansbee, West Virginia, born in Steubenville, Ohio. Family and friends can send flowers and/or light a candle as a loving gesture for their loved one.

As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let her loved ones carry forward the torch of her memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of her love and the brilliance of her spirit. Though Ruth may journey beyond the horizon of our sight, her essence remains woven into the very fabric of our being — a guiding light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in the night.
