April 6, 2023
Ruby Wessinger Reichert of Georgetown died Sunday following an extended battle with dementia. She was 97.
She was born Dec. 19, 1925, in Prosperity, the daughter Henry and Janie Wessinger. A staunch supporter of the United States military, several of Ruby’s five ex-husbands served in the armed forces, and she donated her time and efforts in support of the VFW Women’s Auxiliary.
Late in life, Ms. Reichert spent several years working at the Myrtle Beach Dixie Stampede. In retirement, she spent most of her time at home with her beloved dog, Boo.
She is survived by her granddaughter, Lisa Dian Akers of Shelby, N.C.; her great-grandson, Brandon Scott “Randy” Akers (Jacquelyn) of Georgetown; and her great-great-granddaughter, Adelaide Grace Akers of Georgetown.
Her daughter, Faye Akers, died before her.
