December 2, 1932 — May 1, 2024
Ruby Louise Yarter, affectionately known as Grannee, passed away at the age of 91 on May 1, 2024, in Kingsland, TX. Born on December 2, 1932, in the small town of Blox, TX, Ruby was a beacon of light and love to all who knew her. She courageously battled cancer and left this world surrounded by the family she deeply cherished.
Ruby’s life was marked by a profound dedication to her family and a strong work ethic. She shared 74 wonderful years of marriage with her beloved husband, Clarence Yarter. Together, they built a life full of love, laughter, and enduring memories. Ruby was a devoted mother to her daughter, Esther Jones, and her son, Clancy Yarter. She took immense pride in her role as a mother and later, as a grandmother and greatgrandmother, sharing her passions and wisdom with the younger generations.
Throughout her life, Ruby held various roles that showcased her versatility and commitment. She worked as a secretary, janitor, bookkeeper, and warehouse and trucking coordinator for El Paso Natu-ral Gas. Her colleagues knew her as a hardworking and re-liable individual who brought efficiency and warmth to the workplace. Ruby’s leadership skills shone brightly during her time as the President of the Horseshoe Bay maintenance fund, where she worked tirelessly to improve the community she so loved.
Ruby’s interests were as diverse as her career. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life, such as knitting and sewing, often creating beauti-ful garments and gifts for her family and friends. Her garden was a testament to her patience and nurturing spirit, with every bloom reflecting the care she put into cultivating it. Cooking was another of Ruby’s passions, and her kitchen was the heart of her home, where mouthwatering aromas and hearty laughter were ever-present.
Grannee’s legacy is one of unwavering love and the joy she found in life’s everyday moments. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the apples of her eye, and she invested her time and energy into guiding and supporting them. The wisdom and values she imparted will continue to live on through them.
Ruby’s life journey, from the humble beginnings in Blox to her final days in Kingsland, was filled with the richness of experiences and the depth of relationships. She touched the lives of many with her kindness, her sense of humor, and her generous spirit.
As we say goodbye to Ruby Louise Yarter, we celebrate a life well-lived and a woman well- loved. Her memory will forever be etched in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her. Ruby’s journey on earth has concluded, but the impact of her love and the echoes of her laughter will resonate for generations to come.
