Ruth Earline Moses-Furches departed this life to be with her Father in Heaven on Sunday, November 29, 2009. She was born October 13, 1939 to the late Oscar and Mary Moses. She was a native of Winston-Salem where she graduated from Atkins High School. She attended Winston-Salem Teacher's College, McLean Business College, and Lamae Beauty College. Ruth retired from Western Electric (AT&T). A couple of Ruth's favorite pastimes were working in her garden and traveling. Ruth enjoyed being outdoors and having cookouts with family. She was fond of the holidays, especially Christmas. Her decorations would attract people from miles around. Mrs. Furches loved bringing people together. She organized community block parties, extended family gatherings, and other social events. She will truly be missed. She was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Amazire Moses and Oscar Moses, Jr.; and two sisters, Rosetta Moses and Ruby Hill. Those left to cherish her memory are her husband of 48 years, James Cornel Furches; four daughters, Carmela (Bobby) Valentine, Cornella (Ronald) Furches-Brown, Chalette Furches, and Carla Furches; eleven grandchildren, Devinia Richards, Shameka (Irvin) Fields, Delexander Hill, Ronald Brown, Jr., Jacoya Burgess, Shantia Brown, Charnae Furches, Keshaun Furches, Cornel Brown, Deaje Brown and Chanae Furches; five great-grandchildren, Lance McQueen, Jr., Devonte McQueen, Roderick Knight, Jr., Kierre Fields, and Deniyah Hill; three brothers, Joniest (Tyree) Moses, James (Brenda) Moses, and LeVarne Moses; three sisters, Mildred Macon, Belvia (Samuel) Gamble, and Shirley Frasier; and a host of other family members and friends. A mother holds her children's hands for just a little while; their hearts forever. "Mom, we love you and we miss you!"
