Ruth M. De Palm, age 79, beloved wife and Mother passed at the Hospice House of Williamsburg on Wednesday,
February 8, 2012 following complications of a long endured illness.
She was born on January 14, 1933 in Tarboro, North Carolina to the late Richard Barnes and the late Lily Mae
Everett-Barnes. At the young age of 8, subsequent to the untimely passing of her mother, she was lovingly raised by
her late stepmother, Sara Sue Barnes.
Ruth graduated from Huntington High School in Newport News, Virginia and soon after married her husband of 58
years, Ramon Louis De Palm, Sr. A consummate wife and Mother, Ruth traveled with her family to destinations
stateside and abroad to include Germany, Italy, Japan, and Australia to name a few. After 22 years of dutiful service,
her husband retired from the U.S. Army and they made Williamsburg, Virginia their home.
Ruth mastered the talents of an accomplished seamstress, as well as that of a master lamp-maker for the

“Mother Dear”. However, it was her inherent love of children which made her become permanently known to most
as “Grandma D”.
Ruth will always be remembered for her self-sacrificing devotion and love, but especially for the goodness and
kindness of her heart which she poured out unceasingly to all. She will be especially missed as a confidant,
counselor, and mentor.
She is survived by her husband, Ramon Louis De Palm, Sr., three sons Ramon Louis De Palm II (Tammie Hamm
De Palm), Ricardo Johannes De Palm, and Tyrae Muir De Palm, and daughters, Ramona Ruth De Palm and
Romaigne Dorothea De Palm, and Sha’ron “Tiny” Finney.
Ruth was blessed with six grandchildren R.Jymmia Sho De Palm, Raigne Johanna De Palm, Gabriella Ruth Oviedo
De Palm (Ricardo), Stori Elan Brown, Rena Ruth Baldwin De Palm, Raimann Doroteos De Palm (Ramona) and
three great-granddaughters, Schuyler Elan Brown, Reyana Ruth Rorie, and Romaigne Dorthea Rorie, all of whom
she adored. She also leaves behind a host of relatives, extended family, and friends who loved and cherished her
for the testimony which was the fullness of her life.
