Ruth Randall Glover, 78, went to join her husband, Harold on February 17, 2007. She came into this world October 11, 1928 in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and quietly departed us last Saturday in Benton. She was welcomed by her husband, Harold Kent Glover, her parents, Melvin Henry Randall and Ouita Radabaugh Randall, brothers, Melvin Randall and Harry Elkins.

Ruthie is survived by a brother, Roger Randall and his wife, Victoria of Sierra Madre, California, two Stepchildren, Kay Abrel of Destin, Florida and Judy Inman of Benton, Arkansas, not to mention hundreds of other adopted Children and grandchildren.

The accomplishments and respect she achieved while she was with us are known and will be remembered all across this country. Forty-one of the past 79 years of her life were devoted to recovery for herself and countless individuals and families affected by the disease of alcoholism. She dedicated her life to helping others in their recovery over drug and alcohol addiction. She was honored on August 22, 2002 by the Arkansas Mental Health Association, when they presented her with one of the life time achievement awards, The Arkansas Community Service Award. She was known throughout the country for her participation, service, and dedication to Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon. Along with her husband, Harold, Ruthie spoke to countless groups over the years, and the recordings of these “speakings” are known by almost all the “Old Timers”, the early founders of A.A., as well as many “New Comers” now. Those recordings are still available today. Ruth and Harold are a part of history, and are credited for the very beginnings of A.A. in Benton. Their contributions to this organization, the many groups they started, and compassionate leadership made more than just a difference. They made all the difference.

Her light Shines on through every person she shared her experiences with and will never completely fade. She leaves behind her a legacy of selflessness and dedication to helping anyone who would pick up the phone and call her. Now she has received her final call, and we will all deeply miss her. “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
