Ruth E. Hagg

Born November 21, 1942, to Charley and Bertha (Eastman) Benedict, Ruth spent her childhood and the majority of her adult life on the Homestead Farm on Ross Hill. She married the late Glenn Arnold Hagg on June 30, 1973. The couple, along with their daughter, Linda, lived and worked on the Homestead Farm for the majority of their lives.

Ruthie had a smile that would light up a room. Those that knew and loved her will remember her for her strong and playful spirit. But beneath that strong spirit, Ruth was kind, generous, and always full of encouragement. She gave strong, powerful hugs.

Ruthie had the unique ability of remembering a very large volume of important dates, especially family birthdays and anniversaries. Ruth loved and excelled at being a Mom, Aunt, and Grandma.

Ruth is survived by her son-in-law, Bill Phillips of Tionesta, PA, her granddaughter, Melissa Sue Phillips of Butler, PA, her grandson, Mark Dale Phillips of Tionesta PA, her brother, Roy and his wife Judy (Reagle) Benedict of Bear Lake, PA, a sister-in-law, Loretta (Wozneak) Benedict of Coloma, MI, and many, many nieces and nephews.

Preceding Ruth in death was her husband, Glenn, her daughter, Linda Lou (Benedict) Phillips, and seven brothers and sisters–George Allen (Mary) Benedict, Lavern Benedict, Lee (Angelita) Benedict, Lewis “Toot” Benedict, Clara (Hubert) Saxton, Clarence Benedict, and Dora (Eugene) Dygan.
