Ruth was born on August 12,1946, a daughter of the late Albert Abram and Gladys Barbara Hartman Boyers.

Ruth’s greatest joy was being a devoted Mother and Nana. She greatly cherished time with her family, and loved to laugh with, spoil, and cook for them. She was known for her huge heart, generous spirit, willingness to serve, quick wit, ability to make everyone feel loved and her infectious laugh! Even on her darkest days, she consistently shared her sunshine with those around her. Her faith and love of the Lord was the foundation of her life and was a treasured legacy she leaves her family and all who knew her.

Mrs. Haines was a lifelong resident of Mount Morris, PA. She graduated from Waynesburg Central High School in 1964. She attended West Virginia Business College in 1965. She was a retired secretary for the Central Greene school district serving Perry, Whitley, Brave and East Ward schools for nearly 15 years. She was an avid band booster for the Waynesburg Central High School Band from 1979-1986 supporting her children and their friends while they participated in the band. She will forever be remembered for piling her many Bonus Kids in the big yellow bronco transporting them to and from events laughing the entire time showing her genuine heart and love for kids, especially her own. She was known as a “Bonus Mom” to many.

She attended Mt. Morris Assembly of God Church from her early childhood to adult life singing in the choir, serving as a Missionette and Prim Leader, Bible School teacher while helping and serving in many other children’s and woman’s ministries. It was of utmost importance to Ruth to encourage children of all ages to understand and accept the priceless gift of knowing and living their lives for Christ. In 1982, she began attending the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Morgantown, West Virginia to present day until her health no longer permitted it.

She married her late husband George Russell Haines on June 20, 1985, and they owned and operated the Mount Morris Campground for over 35 years. They enjoyed meeting people from all over the United Stated and Canada and developed many lifelong friendships in doing so.

Ruth was a Landowner Advocate for over 10 years assisting landowners in PA and WV acquire gas and oil leases through her relationship with US Mineral Rights.

Ruth loved to cook! She was an avid baker who enjoyed creating multiple wedding, holiday and birthday cakes for her family and friends while spoiling them with her delicious cooking. She enjoyed traveling when her health permitted, especially visiting extended family. She loved reading, collecting cookbooks, studying the bible and end time prophecy. She enjoyed playing the piano, singing, and listening to gospel music.

She will be deeply missed as the cherished matriarch of her family. Ruth is survived by her three beloved children and their spouses Charlotte and Joe R. Pyle of Mt. Morris PA; Kim and Dr. David Sanders of Morgantown WV; Reverends Ted and Tracie Kiger of Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
