Born at home on September 10, 1933 in Joaquin, Shelby County TX to Cyril and Mamie Powell, Ruth was the fifth of seven children.
Brothers Eugene, Fred. Pat and Dick and sister JoAnne along with parents precede Ruth in death.
Times were hard on this farming family during these depression years. Many days Ruth was sent to school at age 4 and 5 with Geneva, Fred and Pat because she was too little to work in the fields with parents. Mostly it was Geneva that took care of her because she was the oldest. As Ruth got older, she would have to milk 2 cows before she caught the bus at 7:00 while Geneva had kitchen chores.
She skipped the 3 & 5th grade and graduated high school at 16 years old.
At age 18, Ruth would have a very short lived marriage that bring life to daughter Jane. By age 20, Ruth had found the man she would spend the next 57 years with until his death in 2010, James Hogan and to this union came daughter Kay and son Buddy.
After retiring from the Willis School district, she was very active in the Friendship Center, the VFW, and loved to go gambling in Louisiana.
Children:
Jane and husband Rev. Mike Keppler
Kay and husband Lonnie Buchanan
James Jr. (Buddy)
Two granddaughters, Amy and Robin and 4 great- grandchildren, Cierra, Kayla, Brandon and Nevets. A great-great granddaughter, Emma. One sister, Geneva Falconer of Longview and many nieces and nephews.
