I am searching for the obituary of : Ruth T Bannahan, died Oct 1,
1994, Maryland.

I looked at Ancestry.com and found this perfect match (same DOB and DOD):
Ruth Bannahan's SSN was issued in Maryland, but she died in Texas.
She was the wife of James B Bannahan and lived in El Paso before her
death. She is buried at Fort Bliss National Cemetery in Texas.
