Ruth Ann Fulton, nee Davidson, age 80, of Swansea, IL, born on May 27, 1944, in St. Louis, MO, died on Sunday, January 12, 2025, at Memorial Hospital, Belleville, IL.
Ruth worked as a social worker in hospital administration for approximately 25 years. She volunteered at the St. Louis Zoo with interest in the penguins for 15 years, and won awards at many quilt shows with her amazing quilts. Ruth was an avid bird watcher and planned worldwide trips focused on “birding”. She was always ready to travel, especially to the ocean. But above all, Ruth loved her grandchildren, Virginia Green, Daniel Green, Austin Miller and Abby Miller.
She was preceded in death by her son, Ralph Green; and her parents.
Ruth is survived by her husband of 46 years, Vilray “Bill” Fulton; her children, Deborah Green (Arthur Burnett); and Rev. Allen (Angie) Miller; her 4 grandchildren; her daughter-in-law, Janet Green; and her brother, Robert (Sheila) Davidson.
