January 8,1930 - August 15, 2021
Ruth, as everyone knew her, passed away peacefully on the afternoon of August 15, 2021. She was born in Amarillo, Texas on January 8, 1930
She was married to the only love of her life, Evert Eugene Daughetee (who preceded her in death), for 72 years. She was a dedicated homemaker who devoted her spare time to volunteering with organizations dedicated to making a difference in peoples’ lives. She had a unique way of bringing everyone under her wing and making them feel unique, loved and important. She was a woman of no airs who loved Jesus and laughed a lot - even when things were hard. Everyone who knew her knows she was a person who believed that the best way to deal with things was to continue to put one foot in front of the other.
Her death leaves a void, but we celebrate the time we had with her.
Ruth is survived by her daughters (Vivian Daughetee Purkis and Dañia Heffington), her son in laws (Dan Purkis and Mike Heffington), her grandchildren (Brian Chism, Kendall Chism, Charity Chism, N’Kisha Heffington and Anndrea Heffington) and her great-grandchildren (Elexa Chism, Tyler Chism, Samantha Chism, Isaac Armstrong, Trason Armstrong, and Aeris Armstrong).
