  [S927] Obituary. Mrs. Ruth Akins Ruth (Sayler) Akins of Bell passed away on Thursday, July 9. She was born on May 12, 1941 in Freeman, South Dakota. She was the second of five children born to Ruben and Martha Sayler. Her siblings include Roland Sayler, Violet Korn, Marion Auch and Ramona Hoff. She was preceded in death by her son, Russell; her father, Ruben Sayler; and her mother, Martha Sayler. On September 2, 1962, Ruth was united in marriage to Stanley Marion Akins. She had her first of three children on December 2, 1964, Scott Allen. Her second son, Russell Leonard was born March 19, 1968. Sharon Magdalena, Ruth?s baby girl, joined the family on March 28, 1970. Ruth was very proud of her children?s choice in spouses. Kim and Edgar were more like a daughter and a son. They gave her three beautiful grandchildren, Courtney, Cody and Shelby. Her life revolved around her family, friends and the Lord. Ruth was a member of Bethel Church of Christ. She will always be remembered for her brilliant smile, generous nature, her laugh, and opening her kitchen to anyone. She was a beautician by profession, but as we all know, she was more than a hairdresser. She was the best friend anyone could ever have. She was everyone?s second mama, and has been responsible for feeding virtually everyone in Gilchrist County at one time or another. Her pots, her kitchen, her home and her heart were always full. Funeral services were held on Monday, July 13, 2009 at Bethel Church of Christ with Mr. David Halter conducting the service. Interment followed in the church cemetery. Visitation was held on Sunday, July 12, 2009 at Watson Funeral Home. Arrangements were under the care of Watson Funeral Home in Trenton.
