She was born Aug. 30, 1941, in Hobart, to Richard Stinson and Rosetta Johnson.

As a young adult, she attended St. James Baptist Church under the pastorship of the Rev. Perry Clay, where she was on the usher board and sang in the choir. She later joined the Church of the Living God PG&T under Bishop Collins Allen. She finally united with the Church of the Living God CWFF in Frederick, under the late Bishop E.L. Bowie.
She worked as an in-home support services homecare provider for many years. She also worked at Ryan's Moving storage as a personnel worker at Fort Sill, and held numerous other jobs throughout her lifetime.
Edna Ruth was known throughout her neighborhood by family and friends. She helped everyone. You always knew if you were hungry, you could go to Edna Ruth's house and she would give you a home-cooked meal and a place to sleep, if needed. She was the type of woman who always spoke her mind, and wasn't afraid to tell you exactly what she was feeling. And people appreciated her for that.
