born in Wendell, North Carolina. She was the daughter of the late Samuel C.
Adams and Sophia B. Adams. Ruth was one of 10 children: Eleanor, Aldonia,
Bettie, Olovia, Ruth, Leuella, Iantha, Jarious, Easther, and George. Ruth
made her transition to glory on May 19, 2012 at 7:53pm at the University of
Pennsylvania Hospital. During the
1940's Ms. Ruth C. Adams migrated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and stayed
with her brother, George ( June) . During her nearly 90 years of life, she
bore four, handsome sons: Samuel Charles (SC), George McKinley, George
Anthony ( Tony), and Gustiegall ( GG) . Ruth was a dedicated member of New
Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church and a member of its Prayer Band. She
enjoyed the singing of songs by Pastor Wilson.
Ruth was a straight 'A" student at James E. Sheppard High School.
During World War II she started working at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard
and shortly afterwards, Ruth met her soul-mate, Mr. George G. Guerrant Jr.
They joined in marriage on September 9, 1944. The rest of her adult life
she was a homemaker, mother, and a representative of the Lord. She never
forgot any family member or friend's birthday, always sending something on
certain occasions. Utilizing organizational skills and management of money
skills, she passed her God given talent to family and friends. Ruth had the
ability to encourage family and friends. The wisdom that she possessed was
shared with whoever would give a listening ear.

three daughters-in-law: Gloria Guerrant, Shirlry Adams, and Gwen Guerrant;
