Ruth Hall Henry Hickman, our beautiful and loving wife, sister, mother, grandmother and mother-in-law passed away at Forsyth Medical Center on Sunday, December 14th, 2014. She was born September 1, 1931 in Savannah, Ga. to Bessie Thompson Henry and William Wesley Henry. She grew up on Tybee Island, Ga. and was a resident of Charlotte, NC for many years. She graduated from Lees-McRae College School of Medical Technology in 1951 and was employed by The Nalle Clinic in Charlotte.
