She shared more than 60 years with her husband, Gerald “Jerry” Green. Ruth is preceded in death by her father, Burell Preston Burr, and her mother, Hester Curtis Burr. She is survived by her devoted daughters, Tammy and husband Randy Cox of Asheboro, Tina and husband David Ivey of Franklinville, and son Steven and wife Katherine Green of Randleman.

For many years, Ruth cared for children in her home and worked as a teacher assistant in the Randolph County School System. She was a long-time member of Sophia Baptist Church. She taught an adult Sunday school class for many years. Her family and everyone who knew her will carry her legacy; a heart rooted in faith and love that never wavered. In addition to her love for her family, she believed whole heartly in the power of her faith in God.

Ruth was known for her generous spirit. She sent cards to everyone she knew for birthdays, get-wells, sympathy and moments of thanks. There was rarely an occasion, big or small, that she did not acknowledge with a handwritten card.
