Mildred Ruth Pearson December 3, 1929 - May 27, 2016 Mildred Ruth Pearson was born to the late Otis and Eliza Lugene Clark in Claremont, North Carolina on December 3, 1929. She was the third oldest of eleven children and was educated in Catawba County Schools. Ruth, as she was known by from her youth, was a volunteer writer for The Clermont News at age 16 which she thoroughly enjoyed. She accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age and later married the late Thomas Eddie Pearson. She later moved to Cincinnati, Ohio but has also lived in Pennsylvania and Georgia. Ruth worked for several years in housekeeping at Cincinnati Christ Hospital and retired from Manchester Nursing Home in Pennsylvania. During her life, Ruth enjoyed traveling (didn't like to fly), gardening, singing in the church choir, attending Sunday School, good old gospel singing, good preaching, working on the church kitchen committee, shopping, visiting to the Goodwill, and she loved her some Subway—tuna Subways was her favorite. Mom loved the Lord and enjoyed being a witness for Him! Her favorite scripture was the twenty-third Psalm, and she introduced all of her children to Christ at an early age. Ruth was a strong woman of prayer and faith, and it was her prayer that all her children would accept Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Ruth could talk about the Lord for hours, which gave her great joy which is why she became a licensed Evangelist while living in Pennsylvania. She was also a member of the Missionary Board and Eastern Star which suited her well. Mom had a gentle spirit and a willingness to help others, and she will forever be in our hearts, loved and missed. She is preceded in death by one daughter, Angela Faith, four brothers, Ivory James Clark, William Edward Clark, Joseph Lee Clark, Otis James Clark and two sisters, Rosie Mae Russell and Dorothy Mae Freeman.
