Ruthie Meredith Young

Ruthie was known for her remarkable beauty, but those who had the privilege of knowing her knew that her true beauty went far beyond her appearance. She was often described as one of the most beautiful women, both inside and out. Her beauty was not simply something you could see; it was something you could feel in her presence. While her outward beauty caught the eye, it was the beauty of her heart that left a lasting impression. Time may have taken her from our sight, but it could never diminish the beauty of the life she lived or the love she leaves behind.

Ruthie was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Ms. Delia Ruth Sullivan; her sister, Ms. Joy Sullivan Bryant; her brother, Mr. Ed Howard Young; and her nephew, Tim Sullivan.

She leaves behind her loving brother, James Sullivan (Cindy); her niece, Sheila Bryant Grant (Tim); and her nephew, Corey Edward Sullivan (Stephanie), to cherish her memory.

She also leaves behind a host of great-nieces and great-nephews, including Hunter and Tyler Grant (Candace), Alex Sullivan, Mackenzie, Kate, Noah Sullivan, and Cameron and Beau Grant, along with other family members and loved ones who will forever hold her close in their hearts.

Although Ruthie is no longer with us in person, her memory will live on through the family she loved and the lives she touched. Her earthly journey may be complete, but her love will remain forever.

A brief graveside service honoring Ruthie's life will be held on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., at Walker's Chapel Cemetery in Fultondale, Alabama.

Family and friends are welcome to gather to remember her life and the love she leaves behind.

The family would like to extend a Special heartfelt thank-you to Ms. Cindy Parker and Ms. Becky Underwood for their kindness, compassion, and support. Your thoughtfulness during this difficult time is deeply appreciated and will always be remembered.
