Daily Democrat, Clinton MO, Sep 16 2003 - Emma Ruth (Atchison) Jennings, Clinton, died Monday, August 25, 2003, at her home. She was born January 18, 1920, in Chilhowee, the daughter of Charles Elmer and Bessie Mae (Christian) Atchison. Early Monday morning, August 25, after 83 years of enriching the lives of so many in this world, Ruth quietly left this earthly life, as had been her fervent wish and prayer, at home. She is survived by her husband, Dale Jennings, of the home; one son, Mike Coe and wife, Gwen, Plattesville, Wisconsin, and one daughter, Peggy O'Brien, Denver, Colorado; four stepchildren, Terry Dale Jennings, Marshfield, Rick Jennings, Chilhowee, Rebecca Burgin, Poplar Bluff, and Susan Wesley, Bonnett Mill. There are also three grandchildren, Fleur Uptegraft-Marasco, Eric Coe and Sean Coe; five great-grandchildren, Anna Coe, Ashley Uptegraft, Adam Uptegraft, Alex Uptegraft and Blake Benson; eight step-grandchildren, Mike Burgin, Tim Burgin, Wade Jennings, Frankie Wesley, Lesley Wesley, Tiffany Dimwiddie, Stacy Dimwiddie and Michelle Dimwiddie, and two step-great-grandchildren, Mike Burgin and Jacob Burgin. Ruth is survived also by one niece, Willa Ruth Maynhart, Clinton, and four great-nieces, Ruth Hoopes, Patricia Gray, Cathy Brinks and Krista Nara, and by a great number of friends. Ruth was co-owner of Dagwood's Restaurant in Kansas City, Kansas, for 20 years. she also was a school teacher, a seamstress and clothes designer, a gardener and canner of vegetables (Dale told me that the last summer she canned she put up over 500 quarts and gave half of that bounty away to family and friends) and a marvelous role model. For some, teaching is a vocation; for Ruth teaching was essentially who she was. She was a member of the Christian Church of Clinton and the Osage Valley Wild Flower Society. She will be remembered by all of us who knew her as a person who was direct and straightforward - no "beating around the bush" for Ruth - one who was kind and generous-spirited and a lover of life (plants, animals and especially people). She believed in treating people the way she wanted to be treated - simply, directly, kindly. Rick's tribute to her is that she is the smartest person he has ever known - both "book smart" and "common sense smart". Peggy and Mike remembered that she had a strong curiosity, an inquiring spirit and always was seeking to learn more; that she reached out to people in need as if it was second nature to her (which I think it was); that she was very orderly and structured in how she dealt with life, and one of her greatest delights was the sharing of family stories. Ruth was a woman of strong faith. That faith played a crucial role in helping her to overcome the many obstacles that she faced in her life, including two bouts with cancer that she defeated prior to this latest one. That faith enabled her finally to say yes to Dale's proposal of marriage, which in turn offered her a joy beyond anything she had expected. Indicative of her faith and her focus on living is the number of poems and inspirational pieces about living that she kept in her home. There was nothing about dying - because, I believe, that was something that no longer represented any threat to her. We who are here are blessed because Ruth Jennings was a part of our lives, and we are grateful to God for allowing us to experience her love and friendship. Funeral services were held at the First Christian Church, Clinton, Thursday, August 28. Burial was in the Carpenter Cemetery, Chilhowee.
