Ruth Whitfield, an 86-year-old great-great-grandmother, and wife to her husband of 68 years, was remembered in a homegoing service on Saturday, May 28, at Mt. Olive Baptist Church.
More than 750 people filled Mt. Olivet Baptist Church on Saturday afternoon to celebrate the life of Ruth Whitfield, the oldest of the ten victims killed at Tops two weeks ago.
Ruth Whitfield will be laid to rest on Saturday, May 28. She was one of the victims of the May 14 mass shooting in Buffalo, but she’ll be remembered by her loved ones as a devoted and caring wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
