It was there that she met her first husband, William H. Proffitt. They were married in November, 1943. In addition to their daughter Paulette, they also raised Ruth’s youngest sister, Patsy. After the death of her first husband in 1964, and while living in McNairy County, Tennessee, she met and married Thomas W. Woods on May 20, 1969. For many years they owned and operated a florist shop in Selmer. Upon their retirement some twelve years ago, they sold the flower shop and moved to Maryville. They joined Broadway United Methodist Church in 2000. Mrs. Woods was a long time member of the Iva Moore Sunday School class. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Charles George, a sister Jewell Christine Johnson, her first husband William Proffitt, and a step-son Gerald W. Woods.
