Ruth Maxine Henry Chamberlin was born in Stokesdale, NC to the late Romey George and Katherine Vestal Henry. She passed away January 21, 2021 at the age of 95. A graveside service to celebrate her life will be at 3 PM, Friday, January 29 at Westminster Gardens Cemetery.
Ruth was a woman of great faith and loved her savior, Jesus Christ. She married John Bruce Chamberlin at Magnolia Street Baptist Church on June 2, 1963, where both were members. She provided a loving Christian home for Bruce, a decorated war veteran who served in all five branches of the US military and in the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
She adored animals, was a nature enthusiast, loved cardinals and rescued several Basenji dogs. Up until her passing, nothing excited her more than a simple Hershey’s chocolate bar and a bubbly Coca-Cola. Her favorite moments were in the company of her family and friends.
Surviving Ruth are her husband of 58 years, Bruce Chamberlin and godson, Yancey Wesson of Huntersville, NC and his wife Pamela and son, Alex. Her brother, Thomas Henry and sister, Mary Andrews preceded her in death.
