| The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Tuesday, May 26, 2009 Ruth Ann (Howington) Bayne Faithful, kind, gentle, compassionate, selfless and loving. If mere words could illustrate a life, these would paint Annie Ruth's picture best. From her earliest days as a Texas farm girl Annie has filled her days nurturing and caring for those she loved. Her marriage to Richard Bayne in 1958 began a new chapter in Annie's story. They spent the next 50 years together in Glendale, Ariz. growing a beautiful family of seven children, 10 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Her love for them demonstrated in everyday simplicities as well as great adventures. No back road was left unexplored. No small detail unnoticed. Children and adults alike were drawn to her sweet spirit. Her years as a dedicated Sunday school teacher, church pianist and caregiver provided the perfect opportunity to share her love and Christ's love with all she met. Today, in Heaven she is able to see how her love has changed the lives of so many. She will be truly missed by those she left behind. Annie Ruth is survived by her husband Richard; children, Cheri (Richard Pederson), Mark (Arlene), Connie (Brian Ruddell), Brian, Warren (Kim), Eric and Scott; grandchildren, Jill (Butch), Charlie (Brandi), Christopher, Danny, Daniel, Kevin, Ryan, Joshua, Clariece and Benjamin; great grandchildren, Jena and Broc. Services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday, May 28, 2009 at the Westridge Baptist Church, 6828 W. Van Buren St., Phoenix with processional to the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona. Reception will be 3 p.m. at Westridge Baptist. Donations may be made to Hospice of the Valley, 1510 E. Flower St., Phoenix, Ariz., 85014. Thank you Hospice for your kind and loving care.
