Ruby Dawn Johnston Green, age 86, a resident of Spring, Texas, passed away at home in the early hours of Friday, November 20, 2015, after a lengthy illness. A native of Choudrant, La., she graduated from Choudrant High School and attended Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, La.. Dawn moved to the Spring area with her husband, the late Reverend Robert T.
