Mrs. McIntosh was retired from Virginia Beach General Hospital and was second vice president of Ocean Park Woman's Club. She served as choir member and Sunday school teacher at Baylake United Methodist Church. She was born in Norfolk on May 29, 1920, the daughter of T.W. and Mamie P. Howard. She was preceded in death by her husband, Eddie R. McIntosh.

Ruth gave in life, love, hope, faith and charity and continues to follow this same path even in death, herself to cancer research. A memorial service will be held at 7 p.m. Friday in Baylake United Methodist Church.
