Hi , I am Ruthie Shealy ..I was Ruthie Addison . I lived in Spring Wood Lake . Went to dentsville 1 year and graduated from SVH in 73.

Matt is 30. He was in the Marine .Corp for 8 years and now a student at USC...He is married to Carissa and has a son ..Hunter .He is 22 months old. I love being a Nana.
Even in high school I knew I wanted to be a stay at home Mom and raise my children and that is exactly what I did . Thanks to my hubby who worked so hard so I could stay home..it has been a wonderful life and I wouldn't trade one day at home with those boys for all of the money in the world.
I lost both of my parents years ago to cancer ..they died 6 months apart. I lost my only sister when I was 44..she was 34 when she died .I still have my brother Joey ..we are 6 years apart.
I have fond memories of high school..great friends...Shirley Peek...Vanessa Morgan...Becky Pey...Expand for more

Clayton and his green charger ..playing 3 Dog night on his 8 tract. Gail and my blue volkswagon . going home for lunch with becky ..making hamburgers..barely getting back in time...our trips to Camden to date Rusty and Tony :) Vanessa ..sneaking up to Barbra's door to give Clayton a note ..I still crack up thinking about that night. Camping out in Lindas backyard...staying up late to see bobbi Jernigan come home from his dates lol Gail ..saying goodbye for the summer :) and Shirley .. well there has never been a time in the 46 years since we met that you havent been there ...you have been a constant in my life and I know you will always be there.
