Mrs. Ruth Bronson

Mrs. Ina Ruth Bronson, lovingly known as Ruthie, was born on November 24, 1938 to Douglas and Marie Murphy in Florence, Alabama. The Murphy family relocated to Kissimmee, Florida, where Ruthie spotted a handsome young man walking with his cow, Brownie, down a road one afternoon. She told her sister, Sheila, that she would marry that boy one day. She and Stewart would get married a few years later. They have been married for 64 years. We aren’t sure how she put up with him for that long. Ruthie passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family on Tuesday December 3, 2019 at the age of 81. Ruthie was preceded in death by her father Douglas, her mother Marie; her younger sister Sheila; and her older brother Harold. Ruthie is survived by her husband Stewart Bronson; her children Doug Bronson (Kathrine Bronson), Shane Bronson (Patty Bronson), and Marie Bronson Coressel (David Coressel); her grandchildren Michelle Bronson Sewell (John Sewell), Kara Bronson Hurst (Jeff Hurst), Jacie Coressel, Madison Coressel, Josh Fillyaw, and Mark Fillyaw; her great-grandchildren Garret Bray, Clay Williams, Mason Hurst and Nolan Hurst; and her younger brother Travis. The family would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to send their love, prayer, and stories of Ruthie. The outpouring of love is overwhelming. This is a difficult time, but we are leaning on each other and honoring our Ruthie in the best way we know how: together. The greatest gift she gave to us is one another.
