Ruthie Mae King, a dedicated mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend of many was born on July 23, 1942 in Macon, MS to the late Leonna and James Macon, Sr. She made her transition to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on November 1, 2022.

Ruthie accepted Christ at an early age and joined Mt. Moriah M.B. Church, she later moved her membership to St. Paul M.B. Church before ultimately joining Peter's Rock Temple of Macon until her untimely death.

Ruthie lived a life so fulfilling with many twists and turns that trying to summarize her life in one paragraph would not do her justice. She was the true epitome of a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.  Her love was limitless, and she never met a stranger. Everyone was family to her.

One of her greatest gifts was how she loved her family, friends, and people in her life.
