Ruth Albritton Wroten was born Nov. 24, 1920, in Bude, Miss., and passed away on Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012, at The Carpenter House of St. Joseph Hospice in Baton Rouge, at the age of 91. She resided in Baker, where she lived in her own house for the previous 56 years. She loved God, her family and her church, and never met anyone in whom she couldn't see their full potential. She was often the person people would go to and ask for prayer. In many cases, she was already praying for people, even when they didn't know they needed her prayers. She retired from BREC and was the first clerk at Greenwood Golf Course in Baker, where she learned to play and enjoy golf with her lady friends, as well as encouraging her two sons to carry on this lifetime activity.
