“Liberty University is deeply saddened by the loss of one of its most dedicated, loving family members. Ruth was a prayer warrior who loved Liberty and its students. She was a remarkable woman who displayed excellence in a number of capacities: as a wife, mother, grandmother, businesswoman, leader, and as an academic,” said Dr. Ronald S. Godwin, Liberty’s provost and senior vice president for Academic Affairs. “Her deep faith allowed her to face cancer and transition to her heavenly home with great fortitude.”
Through Liberty Ruth Towns earned a B.S. in Church Ministry Education in 1985 and an M.A. in Counseling in 1989.
A service celebrating Ruth Towns’ life will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, at Thomas Road Baptist Church, Pate Chapel. Interment will follow at the Liberty University Founder’s Circle. View her obituary for more information.
