Ruth Elaine Bagwell Pridemore,

Ruth Elaine Bagwell Pridemore, was born June 22, 1937, her parents were Frank and Annie Bagwell, She was the youngest of four children. Her siblings are Buddy, Joe, and Adele. Joe passed away last year. She didn't like her first name Ruth, so she was known as Elaine. Lainie was her nickname by her husband Daniel who she married on July 17, 1955. But she was also known to Daniel as ma, wife, lover, friend, square dance partner, and mother to their children Donald and Janice. Their first child George was miscarried at 5 months. Elaine was raised in Brevard NC. Her parents owned Bagwells Groceries on their property, where she helped. But later Daniel and Elaine moved to Florida where they raised their children. Between Donald and Janice, they had 9 grandchildren, and 18 great grandchildren, including baby Daniel who went to be with the Lord shortly after he was born. Together, Daniel and Elaine helped to raise Kevin and Karl, and they remained an important part of their lives. Elaine was known as second mother to most. Kids in their neighborhood loved and admired her almost as much as her own family did. During their earlier years Daniel and Elaine enjoyed square dancing with his clogging team the Country Swingers and the famous Gene Christian band, and many of their friends. Elaine managed to squeeze in getting her nursing degree, and helped to care of many patients in private home care, and she worked in the cardiac wing in Baptist hospital. Her family belonged to the Church of God and in her early life she accepted the Lord and never forgot her faith. Elaine was quite crafty and talented, she refurbished old furniture, made candles from scratch, dabbled in playing the piano, loved to fish, loved collecting dolls, and knick knacks, loved to sit on the farmhouse porch overlooking their property and "yacking" with Hoover, and friends and family, whoever stopped by. She loved country western shows, and music, she loved reading novels, she was an animal lover, she had many cats and dogs. So many beautiful memories from her life on this earth. Elaine will be greatly missed. Rest sweetly in the arms of Jesus Ma.

Rutledge Everett “Ron” Shuler, Jr., 75

Rutledge Everett “Ron” Shuler, Jr., 75, of Hendersonville passed away Saturday, November 5, 2016 at the Elizabeth House in Flat Rock after a valiant struggle with cancer.

Ron was born on February 14, 1941 to Lillie Mae Rickenbaker Shuler and Rutledge Everett Shuler, Sr. in Orangeburg County, SC. He grew up swimming, fishing, and skiing from the loamy banks of Lake Marion. He fell in love with golf as a teen and helped build his first home course, Holly Hill Country Club, while receiving lessons from the local professional. Ron always loved a good day’s work, and he poured himself into every venture he pursued.

After graduating from Holly Hill High School in 1959, Ron attended the University of South Carolina. After USC, Ron moved to Dallas, TX to study at Gupton-Jones Mortuary Institute where he completed his coursework for licensure in 1964, while also serving as Vice-President of his class. Interestingly, while there, Ron worked as a paramedic and found himself driving an ambulance the day of John. F. Kennedy’s assassination. He was at Parkland Memorial Hospital during the tragic events, something which left a poignant and indelible memory. After graduation, Ron returned to SC to pursue his career in funeral service.

Ron met the lovely Faye Kirby in Florence, SC while he was working as a funeral director. They were married in August of 1965. In SC, he actively served the community, volunteering as President of the Jaycees and in other civic roles. In 1975, they moved their family to Hendersonville, NC. Before retiring from his tenure with Batesville Casket Company, Ron was inducted into the Master's Club, the company's highest honor.

In 1997, he, along with the help of his wife Faye, founded Shuler Funeral Home. His years at Shuler Funeral Home were the most fulfilling of his career life, and he felt humbled and grateful each day to help families during some of their most difficult days. He believed in the wonder of human compassion and in the dignity of life, and he made these tenets the mission of his work.

Ron was a member of Hendersonville First Baptist Church for 40 years, serving as a children’s Sunday School teacher and as a Deacon. His love for Christ, heart for his family, and desire to help others were the motivators of his life.

His other passion was golf. Ron was an avid and naturally gifted golfer who enjoyed his memberships at Hendersonville Country Club and in the Crooked Creek Men’s Golf Association.

Ron was preceded in death by his loving wife of 47 years, Faye Kirby Shuler, and his father, Rutledge Shuler, Sr. He is survived by his mother, Lillie Mae Rickenbaker Shuler, and his sister, Lynda Shuler Caughman, both of Lexington, SC; two daughters, Heather Shuler Stepp, and husband, Christopher, of Flat Rock, NC, and Holly Shuler Ollis, and husband, Jeff, of Greensboro, NC. Ron is also survived by two grandsons, Samuel Rutledge Stepp and Micah Wade Ollis; three granddaughters, Kirby Nichole Ollis, Celeste Leslea Ollis, and Lilly Margaret Ollis; sisters-in-law, Elizabeth Kirby Tart and husband, Thomas, and Annie Mae Kirby Broach and husband, Ralph, and brother-in-law, Alton Kirby and wife, Judy, all of Florence, SC; and by several nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.
