Mrs. Ruth Virginia Mae Redmond Perry, 75, wife of Henry Perry and resident of Parksley, passed away peacefully on Mother’s Day, May 14, 2023, at her home surrounded by family.
Born March 5, 1948, in Baltimore, she was the daughter of the late Floyd Matthew Redmond and the late Ruth Geraldine Smith Redmond.
Ruth was a babysitter for decades and she loved every single child as though they were her own. She enjoyed shopping and she loved to cook hearty meals for all those that she loved. Her true legacy, however, will carry on in her children and grandchildren.

Ruth was predeceased by her parents and brothers, Randy Lee Redmond and Michael Wayne Redmond.
