Ruth Wroten

Born Nov. 24, 1920 in Bude, MS, she passed away on Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012 at The Carpenter House of St. Joseph Hospice in Baton Rouge. She was 91, and a resident of Baker, having lived in her own house for the past 56 years. She loved God, her family and her church, and never met anyone in whom she couldnt see their full potential. She was often the person people would go to and ask for prayer. In many cases, she was already praying for people, even when they didnt know they needed her prayers. She retired from BREC and was the first clerk at Greenwood Golf Course in Baker, where she learned to play and enjoy golf with her lady friends, as well as encouraging her two sons to carry on this lifetime activity. Visiting at Baker Funeral Home, 6401 Groom Road, Baker, on Monday, February 6, 2012 from 69pm, and on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 from 10am until religious services in the chapel at 11am, conducted by Rev. B.K. Miller. Interment to follow in Hillcrest Memorial Gardens. She is survived by her three children, Karen Wroten Day and husband Tom, Ed Wroten and wife Marilyn, and Wayne Wroten and wife Mary 10 grandchildren and their spouses, Jeff and Robyn Day, Jason and Terri Day, Doug Day, David and Nathalie Day, Chris and Sarah Wroten, Suzanne and Clint Beck, Rebekah and Josh Carroll, Michael Wroten and Erin Mullins, Matthew and Cori Wroten, and Kathryn Wroten 19 great grandchildren, and one greatgreat grandchild.
