Obituary
Ruth Coleman Ellerbe, 78, died Wednesday, June 17, 2026 at NHC Healthcare.

Born in Greenwood, she was a daughter of the late Furman Burton and Lovie Flanagan Coleman.

Ruthie retired from SC Vocational Rehabilitation after a rewarding career. Her passion for helping others shone brightly through her role as the former Director of Early Intervention at the Emerald Center.

Beyond her career, Ruthie had an incredible gift for music. She was an amazing piano player and shared her love of music by teaching others how to play. Ruthie also cherished her time spent traveling, especially to the mountains and the beach, and loved her time living on the lake.

Ruthie was raised at First Baptist Church of Greenwood. She had a heart of gold, always ready to lend a helping hand and support those in need.

She is survived by her son, Grainger Coleman "Gray" Hines; two grandsons, who affectionately referred to her as Babu, Grayson Coleman Hines and Andrew Sebastian Hines; and nephews, Jay Self and Furman Self (Kay).

She was preceded in death by her sister, Linda C. Self; her niece, Elizabeth Self Wheeler and special friend, Lee McDowell.

A memorial service will be held at 4:00 p.m. on Monday at the Harley Funeral Home Chapel.

The family will receive friends immediately following the service.

Ann Scott Snead Obituary
Ann Scott Snead went to heaven in a bit of a hurry. She loved her children, grandchildren, friends, and her husband of 42 years, James Kirby Snead. She was a graduate of Greenwood High School, Lander College (BA), and University of Georgia (Masters in Art). She taught Art for 40 years at Lander University, in Ninety Six, and at Emerald Junior High School where she inspired and encouraged hundreds of students. She and Jimmy loved to travel alone, with groups, and often with no reservations. They loved to dance and enjoyed time in the mountains and the beach. She was an avid gardener and rescued many animals. She was the past President of the Ivy Garden Club and on the Flower Committee at First Baptist Church.

She also served on the Board of The Greenwood Museum where she often volunteered, and where she helped to revitalize dynamic displays that highlight the history of Greenwood County and Upstate South Carolina. She was never sick until this illness, and she believed this was God's perfect timing and looked forward to what God had in store for her.

She was the only child of Alice Seal Scott Beaudrot and Charles Louis Beaudrot. In addition to her husband, she is survived by three children -- Seal Nisbet Wilson, Catherine Beaudrot Nisbet Goins (Stephen), Margaret Allison Snead Patrick (Richard), and seven grandchildren -- Walker Snead Patrick, Chandler Josey Patrick, Ann Sloan Wilson, Mary Ellis Goins, Claire Scott Goins Pruitt (Hayes), Sarah Grace Goins, and Anna Charles Goins. In addition are her cousin Kathy Hannah Marrelli (Jim) and numerous nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.

A Celebration Reception will be July 5, 2:30 - 3:30pm in the Fellowship Hall at The First Baptist Church in Greenwood, SC.

Donations may be made to the Alice Scott Beaudrot Scholarship through the Lander Foundation or to a charity of choice.
