Ruth Anne was a beautiful, caring soul, devoted to her family and her faith. She married three times — first to Carl Taylor, father of her four doting sons; second, to Lee Loughhead, who died in 1984; and third, Patrick Kelley.
She and Patrick had married late in life but the two of them adored each other, and she loved telling the story of how she'd been at church when their eyes met and she knew instantly she was going to marry him. Sadly, Patrick passed away just one year after Ruth Anne.
