Ruth Warren Miners
March 9, 1931 - July 12, 2026
We are saddened to announce the pass-ing of our beloved matriarch Ruth Warren Miners, 95, of Fort Myers, Florida. She was born on March 9, 1931, in Philadelphia, Mississippi, to John and Bernice Watkins Warren and passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 12, 2026 surrounded by family. In 1950, Ruth married Curtis Miners, and together they shared 65 years of marriage. Curtis and Ruth built a life together in South Florida, where they owned and operated several grocery stores in Pahokee and Immokalee before retiring. She was renowned for her incredible southern cooking and legendary cakes, and one of her greatest joys was feeding the folks she loved. Ruth was a dedicated and loving wife, and a selfless, devoted mother to her children. Her strength, warmth, and steady presence left a lasting mark on everyone who knew her.
Ruth was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Curtis Miners; her son, Alan Miners; and her great-granddaughter, Savannah Miners.
She is survived by her children, Steve Miners (Naples, FL) and Jay Miners (Fort White, FL); her grandchildren, Starr Miners, Jared Miners, Curt Miners, Jeb Miners, and Justin Miners; and six great-grandchildren.
A visitation was held from 5:00–6:00 P.M. on Thursday, July 16, 2026, at Akin-Davis Funeral Home in LaBelle, FL followed by a celebration of Ruth’s life beginning at 6:00 P.M., with Bishop Cliff Gobble officiating. Ruth was laid to rest the following day, Friday, July 17th, at Port Mayaca Cemetery, resting once again beside her loving husband and son.
