Ruby was born to
Frank Howard and Clara
Anne (Gregart) Lawrence
on Oct. 19, 1926 in
Loreto, Boone County,
Nebraska, and passed
from this life Friday,
Sept. 5, 2008, at her
home in Lahoma. Her
daughters and family
were with her as she
quietly departed this
life.
Ruby retired in
1985 from the Enid State
School after 26 years of
dedicated service to the
Department of Human
Services and the
citizens of Oklahoma,
showing loving concern
and quality care to all
who came in contact with
her. Ruby was an active
member and supporter of
the Lahoma Baptist
Church. She was an avid
gardener and spent many
peaceful hours in her
garden, which always
brought joy to those who
visited. She also liked
quilting and fishing.
Ruby could be found in
the kitchen baking rolls
and cookies for her
grandchildren and was a
bright spot in their
lives. She was a quiet
person, with a passion
for life and her
family. We will greatly
miss her smile and
steady hand. May the
Lord bless and keep her
in the palm of His
hand.
She is survived by
three children, Judy Ann
Myrick and husband Tex
of Enid, Charles Eugene
Splane of Enid, and Ruby
Lynn Smith-Maldonado and
husband Arnold of Lahoma;
one sister Margaret B.J.
Lawrence Knott of Ames,
IA; two brothers, Lester
Lawrence of Hawthorne,
NV, and Melvin R.
Lawrence of Littlefield,
AZ; twelve
grandchildren; thirteen
great grandchildren; and

great-grandchildren.
Ruby was preceded
in death by her husband,

daughter Nancy June
Whitten, daughter-in-law
Sharon Splane, grandson
Gregory Hitchcock, and
ten brothers and
sisters.
