Ruth Lee Edna Frazier was born on November 27, 1933 in Birmingham Alabama to the proud parents of Eddie and Willie Mae Garrett, both of whom preceded her in death. Ruth was one of three children that the Lord blessed with unique gospel music talent. In 1935 Eddie and Willie Mae Garrett moved their family to Cleveland, Ohio, a city and state that was blessed by the gospel music talent of Ruth and her sister Lillie Mae Wynn. Ruth accepted Jesus Christ at a young age and continued to serve Jesus Christ with unconditional love and devotion. She was baptized by the late Hon. Pastor B.T. Birmingham at Second Metropolitan Baptist Church.
