Ruth Lansford Babb went to her heavenly home Friday, August 13, 2010, after suffering a severe stroke. She passed away at Lakeland Regional Hospital.
Before moving to Lakeland, Fla., Mrs. Babb was a lifelong resident of Paducah and an active member of Friendship Baptist Church, where she served on several committees. She worked as a teller at the West End Branch of Peoples Bank and then at the Lone Oak Branch, where she also served as the branch secretary.
Mrs. Babb enjoyed going to church, Gospel singings, entertaining friends, and serving her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. While in Lakeland she attended Cornerstone Baptist Church.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Edwin and Clara Brasher Lansford; a brother, Edward Lansford; and three sisters, Afton Gray, Evalyn McCluskey and Genevieve Waldon.
