Georgia Dedications & Memorials Ruby Gertrude Hayes Brooks Ruby Gertrude Hayes Brooks served as an example of how individual Baptists can be involved in Baptist work and service to God. As a pastor's wife, Mrs. Brooks served as a true helpmate in the work of the local churches that her husband, the late Nathan C. Brooks Jr.. served in North Carolina. Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana. Florida and Kentucky. In those churches she taught children and adults in Bible study. She also offered invaluable leadership in the Woman's Missionary Union. Mrs. Brooks' commitment to the local church continued into retirement. After her retirement, she became a devoted member of Greystone Baptist Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. Even in her later years at the Springmoor Life Care Retirement Community in Raleigh, North Carolina, Mrs. Brooks led weekly Bible studies. Mrs. Brooks' involvement with Baptists, and the calling to which she would devote her life, is reflected in her education. She attended the WMU Training School in Louisville, Kentucky. That school was the forerunner of the Carver School of Missions and Social Work. Mrs. Brooks continued her education at Mars Hill College, Meredith College and the University of Louisville's Kent School of Social Work. Ministry to children was the heart of Mrs. Brooks calling. She wrote preschool literature for Home Life Magazine. She led teacher training for preschool and children during Training Union Weeks at Ridgecrest Baptist Assembly. During the period 1966-1976, Mrs. Brooks served with the Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina. In her position there she began with a territory that included Raleigh and areas eastward. During her years of service with the Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina, she provided counseling to children and their parents, supervision of foster homes, placement of children in Kenned}' Home or foster homes, and adoptions. Serving in her position was truly a ministry and not just a job. She went beyond what her job required. She sought to become a significant adult in the lives of children who did not know their parents or came from unstable homes. She did this not only through her work with the children in the Baptist Children's Homes, but she also attended graduations and weddings, and she maintained contact with children whose lives she touched. She was able to follow them as they grew into adulthood and fomied their own families. It was Mrs. Brooks who provided leadership and inspiration for the founding of the Infant-Toddler program at First Baptist Church in Raleigh. North Carolina, which continues to be a model day care program in our state. Children in this state were beneficiaries of the work of Mrs. Brooks, and North Carolina Baptists will never know how much we have benefited from those lives that she touched. Mrs. Brooks is survived by four children: Nathan C. Brooks, III who resides with his family in Lynchburg, VA; Frank Lane Brooks who resides with his family in Louisville, KY; George Evans Brooks of Charlotte, NC; and Misa Brooks Raynor who resides with her family in Belhaven, NC. She was predeceased by a daughter. Mary Kelly Brooks. Gary C.
