Obituary for Ruth C. Millhimes
Ruth C. Millhimes, 84, of Gettysburg, PA died Friday evening, March 18, 2016 at her home.
Born January 3, 1932 in Gettysburg she was the daughter of the late Orville and Ruth (Shultz) Jacoby. She was the wife of the late Charles E. Millhimes who died in 2012.
Ruth was a woman of strong faith. She was an active member in the Gettysburg Church of the Brethren and she was the church financial secretary. She worked for 45 years at C.H. Mussleman and Knouse Foods as a personnel secretary. She was secretary for TOPS in Gettysburg, as well. Ruth got great enjoyment from spending time with her family.

She was an active volunteer at the Brethren Home in Cross Keys where she was a member of their auxiliary. She loved helping others, and in her free time she enjoyed crocheting, crafting, walking, exercising, and traveling. She had an adventurous spirit and will be greatly missed.
