Obituary For Ruth Nell Emerson

RUTH NELL EMERSON was born in Meridian, Mississippi to the late Lela Mae Glasper and the late Elder Lattie Moore Emerson, Sr.

She was a graduate of Susquehanna Township Senior High School and during her working career she was employed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Ruth was a member of Shiloh Church Of God In Christ. She loved praising God in Service, prayer, traveling to special events and fellowshipping with the Sisters at Shiloh Church. She participated in Prayer groups with Sister Connie Jenkins. Her life was dedicated to Christ Jesus. She also enjoyed dining out at restaurants.

In her leisure time, she loved listening to a variety of music, watching her favorite movies, shopping, clothing and accessories. Her favorite color was red. She loved traveling on bus trips, going to family reunions and being with friends. She also loved decorating and relaxing.

Prior to becoming ill, Ruth resided at Hall Manor Apartments in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. As her health declined, she was transported to The Gardens at West Shore in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.

We extend our Condolences and deepest Sympathy to the Emerson family, the Corish family, the Jackson family, the extended family and church family of sister Ruth Nell Emerson, and all who loved her and will miss her dearly. God The Father decided to let the sickness have sister Ruth's decaying body and changed her address from 'The Gardens at West Shore Camp Hill Pennsylvania' to one of the Mansions that Jesus prepared for her. We will grieve but by The Grace of God we will get through it but not over it. Elder & Mrs. C. G. Henderson.
