Ruth professed hope in Christ at an early age and united with the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. Ruth was the loving wife of Santa Fee Anderson (Fields) who preceded her in death on October 4, 2018. They were married for 71 years.

Ruth worked hard on the farm alongside Fields, Bessie, and Harvey. Later, she worked at Fruit of the Loom and at Jane Todd Crawford Hospital in the purchasing department and as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Ruth loved to sing old gospel songs with Brenda and Peggy. When she was younger, she played the organ. She also loved chatting on the phone with her friends and visiting her girls. She and Fields moved to Campbellsville five years ago. Diane was her caregiver. Ruth will be sorely missed by her family, friends, and neighbors.
