Ruth Love

Ruth “Mother” Love of Stamford, CT, known for her angelic voice that touched countless souls, was called home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Saturday, November 23, 2024, at the age of 90. A beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, Ruth lived a life filled with faith, grace, and unwavering love. Born on June 24, 1934, in Baxley, Georgia, Ruth was the daughter of the late Preston Moore and Sarah Cummings Bings Weaver. She grew up during a time of great societal change, which shaped her into a resilient and compassionate woman, devoted to her faith. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Ruth loved her Savior, Jesus Christ, with all her heart and cherished God’s Word. She was deeply committed to serving the Lord and encouraging her family to do the same. One of her favorite scriptures, Matthew 6:33, inspired her life: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” She often reminded others, “Ask the Lord. He’s the only one who can help you, and He will if you ask Him.” In the early 1960s, Ruth moved to Stamford, where she worked at Clairol on the production line before transitioning into daycare as a teaching assistant. After dedicating her life to God, she became an active member of The Greater Emmanuel Apostolic Church. She served faithfully as an usher and later as a teacher in the church’s daycare program. As a mother of the church, Ruth took great joy in guiding the youth to know and love the Lord. Beyond her spiritual and community work, Ruth had a passion for cooking and baking. Her home was always welcoming, often featuring a delicious pound cake for guests to enjoy. Though gentle and humble, Ruth was a powerful prayer warrior. Only heaven knows the wonderful and eternal impact of her many years of faithful prayers on her family, friends, and the countless people she touched along the way. Ruth is survived by her daughter, Deborah (the late Theodore) Perry and an adopted daughter, Sister Smith. She was predeceased by her daughters, Ruth G. Brown, Iris D. Love, and Kaynsaich N. Williams; her son, Charles Love, Jr. Her siblings include the late Nathaniel Frager, the late Daniel Weaver, the late Alberta Blanks, the late Mildred Monroe, the late Thelma Harris, the late Mary Harris, and Ollice Weaver. She is survived by thirteen grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild, and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins whom she loved dearly, as well as her extended family and dear friends.
