Ruthie Mae Robinson

Ruthie Mae Robinson, 74, resident of Cape Girardeau, Missouri died October 15, 2020 at the Lutheran Home in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.  She was born November 18, 1945 in St. Louis, Missouri to the late Hosie and Bertha Mae Williams Taylor.

Ruthie accepted Christ and was baptized at Green Memorial Church of God in Christ in Sikeston, Missouri.  She passionately loved the Lord, His word and prayer.  To know Ruthie was to know her joy of the Lord and her willingness to give herself to everyone she met.

Ruthie was a Certified Nursing Assistant for many years at Missouri Delta Medical Center in Sikeston, Missouri.  She worked until she was unable to because of her health.  She was an avid gardener, and she loved to cook.  The true loves of her life were family and friends.

Ruthie enjoyed spreading the gospel to anyone who would listen.  Sometimes that involved visiting local nursing homes in Sikeston or just conversing with individuals in passing.  She never met a stranger and loved to talk.  She loved to spend time with her mother, Bertha, and her sister, Sue, going to garage sales and her two sisters, Sanoria and Velma, who also lived locally.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by two sisters, Annie Pullen and Glenda "Sue" Taylor, a granddaughter, Ebony Draper, and a great granddaughter, Loriele Tate.
