She met a Navy man, Larry McCoy, while working as a waitress and love blossomed into marriage in 1952. Larry started working at the LCRA and the couple made their home in Marble Falls. Larry and Anna Ruth had four children: Wayland, Clayton, Karl DeWayne, and Linda. Anna Ruth began working as a part time cashier at HEB. Larry passed away in 1966, and Anna Ruth took on the new job of a single parent. She devoted the remainder of her life to the care and guidance of her children and grandchildren.

She enjoyed the hobbies of making quilts, needle pointing, and crochet with her two sisters, Mopie and Loetta. She has been a member of the Church of Christ in Marble Falls since the early 1960s.
