Clicked this expecting the Ruth Prince who wrote on Bible teaching, ended up reading a plain family notice instead. 88 years old, Philadelphia to San Diego, a son and a daughter and two grandkids. No photo, no quote, nothing to grab onto. Strange how that stops you for a minute anyway.

Ruth Prince, born Ruth Drossner, died on May 27, 2026, at the age of 88. She was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on August 24, 1937, and later made her home in San Diego, California, where her death was recorded. Public information about her life is limited: available records describe her chiefly through the family notice published after her death, which does not detail her education, career or the full arc of her working life.
What is documented is her role as a mother and grandmother. She was survived by her son, Gary Prince, and her daughter, Renee Prince, along with two grandchildren, Samantha and Justine. Her married name came from her husband, whose own details are not part of the public record available at this time.
Ruth Prince was not a widely known public figure, and no cause of death, occupation, or other biographical detail beyond what is noted above has been made public. Readers researching the name Ruth Prince online will also find other, unrelated people who share it, including Ruth Baker Prince, the second wife of the Bible teacher Derek Prince, who died in 1998, and Ruth J. Prince, a professor of medical anthropology at the University of Oslo. This page concerns only the Ruth Prince, née Drossner, who was born in Philadelphia in 1937 and died in 2026.
Her passing was marked with a family obituary rather than extensive press coverage, consistent with a private life lived largely outside public attention. As more information becomes available or is confirmed by the family, this page will be updated.
