Obituary For Mrs. Ruth Louise Caldwell
Mrs. Ruth Louise Caldwell, 77, made her peaceful transition from earthly life to life everlasting on September 23, 2022, at her home. She was born July 24, 1945, in Darlington, SC, a daughter of the late Rev. Jerome Johnson, Sr., and Irene Cooper Johnson.

Ruth graduated from William Penn High School, Class of 1964, and continued her education at Guilford Technical Community College. She was employed by W.J. Reeves, Sam’s Club, Martin Twin Theater, and retired from Dillard’s.
