GUILFORD and DEXTER – Ruth Lee Covel, 89, went home to be with her Lord Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 25, 2010. She was born Jan. 29, 1921, in Bradford, daughter of Ralph and Gladys (Fernald) Lee. She played several musical instruments, as well as doing sewing, knitting, cross-stitch and made many stuffed animals, as well as animals and toys out of wood. A great homemaker, she was a wonderful example of Proverbs 31: 10-31, where the Bible speaks about a virtuous woman. She had been a member of First Baptist Church, Dexter, for more than 50 years. After moving to Guilford to be near her children, she became a member of Guilford Center Baptist Church. She is remembered by two sons and their wives, Stephen and Mary Covel of Sangerville and Timothy and Carol Covel of Stobill, N.C.; six grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 58 years, Arthur W. Covel; a son, David R. Covel; and a brother, Clyde F. Lee. The family appreciates the loving care Ruth received while at Hibbard Nursing Home, Dover-Foxcroft. A funeral service and celebration of Ruth’s life will be held 2 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 2, at First Baptist Church, Dexter, with Pastor David Lassell officiating. A time of visitation will be held 1 p.m. until the time of service. Spring burial will be at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Dexter. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to First Baptist Church, P.O.
