Ruth “Bootsie” Campbell was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri and her claim to fame was that she, along with the help of God and over 50 agents, created the #1 Century 21 company in the entire State of Missouri, holding that position for over SEVEN YEARS. She is the proud parent of Julie Carrier and grandmother to Ashley Ruth. After years in the punishing frozen tundra of Wyoming where they ran a successful dude ranch, she and her faithful husband, Wayne (“Pard”), decided to semi-retire and become snowbirds, bringing their 45 horses, dogs and cats back and forth to Florida. However, after Hurricane Ivan, they thought it best to settle in one place and remained here in Milton. Between the two of them, they have been blessed to be at the helm of several extremely successful (and quite varied) businesses through the years. They are proud to be the head of the newest and most exciting arts enterprise in the greater Pensacola area!

Born and raised just south of Atlanta, Georgia, Suzanne graduated from the University of West Georgia with a B.S. in Secondary Science and Education and moved to Florida in 2009 with her husband, Bernie, and their two children, Margaret and Elise. Margaret, a Time to Shine Alumni, is currently attending the University of South Florida earning her B.S. in Chemistry. Elise has recently graduated from Arkansas State University with a Bachelors in Actuarial Science and an MBA, and is currently participating in the Disney College Program. Suzanne is currently in her 12th year teaching 5th grade at S.S. Dixon Intermediate School, and has graciously decided to join the staff at TTS in order to stay connected to our amazing studio and its members. She hopes to help Time To Shine continue to cultivate an appreciation of the arts in Santa Rosa County.
