Stephenville, TX Wednesday, October 19, 2022 Ruth was always positive about life, she always saw the good in people. She was one of the great influences that the Holloway family had on my life. I always loved spending time at the farm with my sister and cousins when I was a kid and she was always part of the fun. I will always remember her laugh.“May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest”

Garland, TX Tuesday, October 18, 2022 No doubt a great home coming yesterday when Ruth entered the gates of heaven! Memories will carry each of you through in the coming days and the assurance you will see Ruth again. My fondest memories of Ruth were the excitement of learning she and Robert were getting married and the thrill of their wedding being held in our home when I was a child. A great, loving person.
