Portrait of Ruth (Miller) Sorrel as a young woman.
Ruth grew up on Main Street in Woodstock, the only child of Harry Alton (1908-1996) and Sudie Pearl (Foster) (1912-1990) Miller. In the 1940 census, her father worked in a pool hall. Ten years later, he was a presser in a coat factory.
Ruth married Aubrey Harris Hough (born in Alabama) in 1957. She was a 22-year old Blue Bell employee and he was a 29-year old divorced telephone construction worker living in Edinburg. The marriage did not last.
She married for the second time in 1969. Bobby Eugene Sorrells (1934-1996) was the son of Wallace Murry and Blanche Louise (Cherrix) Sorrells, from Edinburg. This was his third marriage. Bobby had served in the U.S. Navy from 1952-1956 and worked for the Virginia State Highway Department.
The couple had more than a quarter century together before he died.
