Ruth Casebolt Hite

Ruth Casebolt Hite, born in Minford, Ohio on March 11, 1939, the youngest of 15 children. Daughter of Pina (Johnson) and John Henry Casebolt. After graduating from Minford High School, she moved to Columbus and worked for Huntington Bank, eventually settling in the Fairfield County area. She was an accomplished seamstress, and also an avid bowler, competing in bowling tournaments around the country consistently having a 180 average. She was the bowling pro at Park Lanes in Heath and retired from Whetstone Medical Clinic. She enjoyed going to lunch with her friends, bible study and especially her cat Dooney and dogs Ollie and Disney (who miss her greatly). She loved hearing about what her grandchildren and great grandchildren were doing.

She is survived by daughter Julie Whetstone (Dr. Jim), Jeffrey Hite (Amanda), Kevin Hite (Yvonne Duff), Kendra Hite (Chris Johnson), nine grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and two brothers, Kenas and Lawrence Casebolt and many extended family members.
