Ruth W. Andrews, 86, of Panama City, FL was welcomed into the loving arms of her Heavenly Father on Saturday, April 21, 2018. A graceful southern lady, she was born in Montgomery, AL and moved to Panama City, FL in 1952 after marrying the love of her life, Bill. Her gentle spirit was a reflection of one of her favorite Bible verses, Psalms 19:14, Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my Redeemer. As a devoted wife and mother, she created a loving home and set an example of devotion, kindness and dignity for her children. She was always thinking of others before herself and weathered countless storms in life with quiet grace and strength. After raising her children, she worked at Bay Bank and Trust before joining her husband in retirement. She was a faithful Christian lady and a member of Immanuel Baptist Church for more than 50 years. Her husband of 55 years, Bill Andrews and her grandson, Joshua Pierce, predeceased her. Cherishing her memory are her children, Debra Pierce (Devon) of Jacksonville, FL; Sandi Conner (Jimmy) of Westville, FL; Austin Andrews (June) of Lynn Haven, FL; and Ellen Andrews of Panama City, FL. Grandchildren Melinda Conner, Perry Conner (Amy), Jessica DeSanto (Steve), Aundrea Massinger (Brian), Crystal Tulip (Ben); and great-grandchildren Haley Gilley (Matt), Andrew, Addison and Brycen Lamb; Ethan and Baylee Conner, Reagan and Ryleigh DeSanto; Landon and Elliana Massinger. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, April 27, 2018 at Immanuel Baptist Church with the Rev. Delton Beall officiating. Interment will follow at Evergreen Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends at Kent-Forest Lawn Funeral Home Thursday, April 26, 2018 from 6 to 8 p.m. The family accepts flowers in Ruth’s memory or contributions may be made to Immanuel Baptist Church, 216 College Ave., Panama City, FL, 32401.
