BROOKS – Ruth C. Ayer, 73, passed away unexpectedly April 6, 2023, at her home. She was born October 26, 1949, in Unity, the daughter of Arthur and Clarissa (Cook) Sanderson.
Ruth was raised in Unity, graduating from Mount View High School, Class of 1967. Shortly after graduation, she met John Ayer Jr., in 1969, and married July 3, 1970, celebrating almost 53 years until her passing. As the devoted Matriarch of the family, Ruth loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, and extended family. Ruth was a dedicated CNA, and spent most of her life in the healthcare field. Ruth enjoyed the outdoors as an avid camper, snowmobiling; often the roads less-traveled. Later in life, she enjoyed playing Bingo, often with her friend, Vicki White.
Surviving Ruth, in addition to her loving husband, John, are her daughter, Holly Brown, grandchildren, Amber Ayer and her fiancé, Matty Larrabee, Robert Ayer Jr. and his wife, Kassandra; great-grandchildren, Dexter Ayer, Mariah Ayer; a special cousin, Sally Ann Kinney; and several nieces, nephews and cousins. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her son, Robert Ayer Sr.; and her brothers, James and Archie Sanderson.
A Celebration of Ruth’s Life will be held at a date and time to be announced.
