Ruth Tanner McKibben, organist
For 40 years the sound of Ruth Tanner McKibben playing the organ filled the far reaches of Florence Baptist Church.
She started playing piano for the church in the early 1940s and switched to the organ in 1949. She retired in 1981.
Mrs. McKibben, 85, died at 7:45 a.m. Wednesday at Woodspoint Nursing Home in Florence.
"She was a lady with a lot of determination," said a daughter-in-law, Jan McKibben of Florence. "She was an encourager. She played for youth choirs and encouraged them to try out for parts, and helped them work on their parts after school. That was her life."
Her mother played piano in church and her father was the congregational music leader at the time. One of her sons, Stephen McKibben of Charlotte, N.C., is minister of music at a church there.
In addition to her musical talent, Mrs. McKibben was athletic as a youth.
A son, William McKibben of Florence, said he has a photo of her on the Lloyd High School girls' basketball team of 1928. Her team won the regional championship and played in the state tournament, Mr. McKibben said.
Mrs. McKibben's family, the Tanners, settled in Boone County nearly two centuries ago.
Her husband, Harold R. McKibben, died in 1996.
