Ruth Blevins
January 11, 1934 – March 3, 2019
Ruth Blevins, 85, of Barstow, Maryland passed away on March 3, 2019 in Prince Frederick, Maryland.
Ruth was born on February 11, 1934 in Kaiserlautern, Germany to the late Johann and Barbel Weichel. She was working in the Dietary department on the Army base in Kaiserslautern, when she met her future husband, the late Harry Leonard Blevins. They eventually got married and started a family in Germany and would travel back and forth from the USA to Germany until 1961when they decided to move to the USA.
Ruth was a faithful member of Waters United Methodist Church in St. Leonard, very rarely ever missing a Sunday service and devoted much of her time helping in the kitchen for either church suppers, funeral receptions or various functions. She loved tending to her garden and canning. She was dedicated to her family, home and church.
Ruth is survived by a son, Robert Blevins and his wife Gerti, and daughters Ilona Shotwell and Barbara Fenwick and her husband John Robert. Grandmother of Christopher Shotwell, Dana Blevins and Andre Blevins, great grandmother of Timothy, Justine, Naomi and Josephine, Ruth is also survived by her sister, Zitta Bierman.
The family will receive friends on Thursday March 7, 2019 from 10 – 11 AM at Waters Memorial United Methodist Church, St, Leonard, where services will follow at 11 AM. Interment will be the church cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Waters Memorial UMC.

I am so sad to hear about Ruth’s death. She was a very sweet woman, who loved her children more than anything in this world. She will truly be missed on this earth, but I believe she is smiling (and counting in German! Lol!!) in heaven.
Love, Charlotte Montague

So sorry, Barbara, to learn of your loss. I always enjoyed talking with your mom. Shhh, don’t tell anybody, but she was among my favorite people at Waters. God’s peace to you now and on the days to come. Pastor Ruth
