Ruth Edmundson Bondurant, 90, of Statesville, N.C., passed away March 19, 2022, at Gordon Hospice House. Ruth was born November 30, 1931, to the late Judge Paul B. Edmundson and Lelia Davis Edmundson.

Ruth was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Marvin Vernon Bondurant; son, William Joseph Bondurant; brother, Paul B. Edmundson; and sister-in-law, Nancy Edmundson.

Ruth spent most of her life as a homemaker, but she worked at J.C. Penny’s after her husband passed until she retired in the early 2000s. She enjoyed cooking southern family recipes, shopping, and traveling to the N.C. mountains and beaches. She had a compassionate heart for animals and also her friends. Christmas brought her the most joy when she could cook and gather her family around her.
