Ruth met Vestal when her family first moved to North Carolina in 1948 and she was only 15. She would go to his father's farm house each day to buy milk. This milk was unpasteurized and sold in half gallon jars and had about 50% cream at the top. Vestal was attending college at the time and happen to be home one day when Ruth cameto buy milk. When he saw her, sparks began to fly and after two years of courtship, the rest is history.. They were married in 1950 by Vestal's best friends father who was a non denominational preacher and who had never performed a ceremony (he was in his late 60s). Now, 63 years later (2014), we are still happily married..

Notes:

Ann was raised by her Aunt in Washington, DC. She was introduced to James Edwards by his first cousin, Irene Edwards. After her divorce from James in 1937 she worked as a secretary for the Federal Government. She was dearly loved by all her grandchildren and her desserts were renowned. Her granddaughter, Donna, and great grand daughter Jennifer have carried on Ann?s dessert tradition.
Comments by Vestal Fulp, son-in-law of Ann: Ann was a model grandmother to my two daughters as well as a model mother-in-law to me. We often visited with our two daughters on short notice, and she always greeted us with warmth and a cheerful smile; and with what appeared to be little effort, could put on a gourmet meal including at least three mouth watering desserts. She was a fantastic bargain shopper and loved giving gifts.
