Ruth Cook Carson, 91, of Mount Juliet, Tennessee, passed on to her heavenly home on Sunday, October 25, 2020. On August 2, 1929, Ruth was born into the home of Valter and Pearl (Hale) Cook. Ruth married Glenn Carson, her husband for 63 years, on August 30, 1957.
Mrs. Cook worked for Nashville Electric Service for a while, but took great pride in being a wife, mother, and grandmother. She enjoyed doing things for others and planning and organizing events for the family. Being creative, she also enjoyed sewing and scrapbooking. Together, Ruth and husband, Glenn, preserved family heirlooms and maintained their family history.
Mrs. Carson was a charter member of Victory Baptist Church in Mount Juliet and really enjoyed spending time with her Sunday School Class.
