Mary Taylor Ayres, known to everyone as "Ruthie", went to be in the arms of Jesus on October 5, 2020.
Ruthie was born in Waycross on October 19, 1929, to Annie R. Taylor and Elton Taylor.
She lived in several places around Southeast Georgia but finally settled in Jesup. A retiree from Bell South Telephone Company, she spent her remaining years traveling and getting her real estate license... just because she could. She was a member of the Ben Gibbs Chapter of the Eastern Star and began learning how to use her computer to buy property while pouring all of her love into her growing family.
Her pride and joy were her "precious darlin grandchildren" and her multitudes of great-nieces and nephews.
Ruthie was devoted to her late husband, M.L. and her family. She could often be seen volunteering at the elementary schools and at First Baptist Church in Jesup. When at the schools, she often "adopted" MANY nonbiological grandchildren along the way, many of whom still love her dearly. She was known for her generous spirit, quick wit, and her unending devotion to both her Jesus and her family. We will miss her CAPSLOCK text messages, her video recordings, JUST on birthdays, and most of all, her special pat-downs for special children. Many children would line up for one of Ruthie's pats on the head.
Survivors are her son, Lee (Lisa) Ayres ofJesup; grandchildren, Taylor Ayres and Tori (Andrew) Grear; great-granddaughter, Eleanor Grear; her brother, Chester (Frances) Taylor; many cousins, nieces, nephews, and many, MANY nonbiological grandchildren, whom she loved as her own.
Memorial services will be 11 AM Wednesday, October 14, 2020 at Rinehart and Sons Chapel with Rev. Eddie Taylor officiating.
The family will receive friends at the service.
In lieu of food and flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to the First Baptist Church Youth Department, P.O. Box 1155, Jesup, Ga. 31598 or Hospice of South Georgia, 1425 Sunset Blvd., Jesup, Ga. 31545.
Rinehart and Sons Funeral Home of Jesup is in charge of arrangements.
