Ruth Gordon Taylor Hathcock's Obituary
Ruth Gordon Taylor Hathcock of Oakboro, age 79, met her Savior face to face on September 9,
2024.
Ruth was born on March 3, 1945, in Union County, NC to Dewie Gordon and Beatrice Helms
Gordon. She graduated from Garinger High School in 1963. She spent her life working in
different industries until she began working for Lomax Tile & Marble in 1985. She was the office
manager there until she retired in 2010.
Our sweet Mom/Ruthie loved Jesus, the beach, buttercups, music and dancing, her family, her
dog Daisy, and especially her grandchildren. She was a loving, generous person who never
hesitated to give anything that was needed.
She is survived by her husband Eddie Hathcock of the home, sons Robby Taylor of Charlotte, Jeff
Taylor of Midland, daughter Angie Taylor McGee (Doug) of Midland, stepson Jason Hathcock
(Kiersten) of Concord and stepdaughter Julie Barbee (Greg) of Midland, brothers Bill Gordon of

Taylor, and several nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind her special lifelong friend, Mary
Baker of Mint Hill.
She is predeceased by her parents, her sister, Dixie Hoffman, brothers David Gordon and
Freddie Melton, and sister-in-law Jody Gordon.
