Ruth was born October 25, 1916 at Hagerman, TX to Marlin and Willis G. Jones. Her high school years were spent in Grandfield, OK.

For the past eleven years, she has lived with her daughter and son-in-law in San Antonio, TX. Most of her life she lived in the Hagerman, Willow Springs and Pottsboro area. She and Carlos attended Hagerman Baptist Church. That church and the people in the community meant the world to them.
Ruth was preceded in death by both parents; her husband; sister, Audrey Terrell; brother Grady Jones; son-in-law, David L. Forbes; and grandbaby, Diane Forbes.
Survivors include her daughter, Kay Miller Forbes of San Antonio, TX; sister, Emma Starling Mathes of Benbrook, TX.; grandson, Bruce Forbes and wife Kathleen of The Woodlands, TX; granddaughter, Joyce Baeker and husband David of Crosby, TX.; great-grandchildren, Brooke Forbes, Alexis (Lexi) Forbes, and Kirk Baumgardner.

There are not enough ways to say "Thank You" to Vitas Hospice, San Antonio. Their loving and professional care in Ruth's last weeks will never be forgotten.
