Ruth Marilyn Duvall
Ocean Pines

Ruth Marilyn Duvall, age 92, passed away on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2025, at The Macky and Pam Stansell House in Ocean Pines.

Born in Wilkes-Barre, PA, she was the daughter of the late William Lewis Craig and Helen Ruth (Samuel) Craig.

Ruth was a quick-witted, kind-hearted woman who fiercely loved her family. Her smile, warmth and positivity were infectious. A graduate of Anacostia High School, she spent nine years working in Washington, DC, before dedicating herself fully to her family—a role she embraced with grace and devotion.

Ruth and her husband, Ed, were the heart and soul of their family. A true social butterfly, she treasured her time on 36th Street, surrounded by her beloved husband, family, and lifelong friends.  Her sharp wit and endless love will remain in the hearts of all who knew her.

She is survived by two daughters, Vicki Verbich (Ted), and Nola Duvall (Jack), three grandchildren, Lauren Martin (Josh), Teddy Verbich, and Jack Gibson-Duvall, and two great-grandchildren, Isaac Martin, and Zoey Martin.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Edgar A. Duvall, and a brother, William Craig, Jr.

A funeral service will be held on Friday, Jan. 24, 2025, at 10 a.m. at the Burbage Funeral Home in Berlin, with a viewing one hour prior. Interment will follow at the Eastern Shore Veterans Cemetery in Hurlock.
