Daniel's Funeral Home
Mrs. Ruth E. DeSetta, age, 97, of Armuchee, Georgia, passed away peacefully at her home on Monday, September 16, 2024.
Mrs. DeSetta was born in Brooklyn, New York on October 18, 1926. She was the daughter of the late Norman and Gertrude Pottle. Her three siblings, Gertrude, Ralph, and Eleanor, preceded her in death.
Ruth married Henry DeSetta in 1950, and they enjoyed almost 63 years together until Mr. DeSetta passed away in late 2013. She and her husband lived in Woodmere, New York, for 40 years where they owned the DeSetta Nursery, a landscaping and gardening center that is still in operation. After retirement, they spent their time between St. Petersburg, FL and Rome, GA.
Ruth loved spending time in the kitchen, creating delicious home-cooked meals for the family. She had an endless knowledge of plants and later in life she rekindled her talents for painting and drawing. She was an active member of the Woodmere United Methodist Church, serving in the Alter Guild and organizing numerous fundraising events. Her faith was an essential part of her life and her love of Jesus only ever deepened.
Survivors include three children, Linda (Lynn) Evans of Armuchee, GA, David (Mary) DeSetta of Hewlett, New York, and Henry J. DeSetta of Armuchee, GA; five grandchildren: West (Katie) Evans, Nicole DeSetta, Haley DeSetta, Jeanette (Andrew) Lerner, and Nicholas DeSetta; and two great grandchildren.
The family will receive friends on Saturday, September 21, 2024, from 1 to 2 p.m. at Daniel's Funeral Home, 901 E 2nd Ave SW, Rome, Georgia 30161. Following the visitation will be a graveside entombment for Mrs. DeSetta at 2:30 PM at Myrtle Hill Mausoleum, Rome, GA with Chaplin Jennifer Lee officiating.
Daniel's Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Ruth DeSetta.
