Ruby Daywood Obituary

Ruby Daywood Ruby Mae Heath Daywood was born outside of Weatherford, Texas on December 17, 1920 and went to be with the Lord on Friday, May 11, 2012. She was one of five children born to Arthur and Myrtle Heath. She is preceded in death by her husband of 42 years, Anthony "Tony" Daywood. She is survived by her twin sister, Ruth Huff of Easley, South Carolina, her son, Anthony C. Daywood and his wife, Vivian, and their children, Alexandra Daywood, Anthony Daywood, and Andrea Daywood Jacob and her husband Arthur Si; her son, John Carl Daywood and his wife, Barbara and their children Vanessa F. Wile and her husband, Dean, and Jennie Earley and her husband, Jason. Ruby is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews. Ruby was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend who took great joy in spending time with her grandchildren. Her hard work in her garden and home provided much satisfaction to her and her family. She easily shared her smiles, gentle hugs, and quiet "thank you's." The family would like to thank Arletha Williams and her family for their care, the staff of ResCare, and the staff at the Clare Bridge ALZ unit. The care and attention of everyone at North Austin Medical Center was deeply appreciated. Friends are cordially invited to a visitation with family from six o'clock until seven o'clock in the evening, on Monday, the 14th of May 2012, at Cook-Walden Funeral Home, 6100 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, Texas. The Rosary will be recited at seven o'clock in the evening. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at half past ten o'clock in the morning on Tuesday the 15th of May 2012 at Our Lady' Maronite Catholic Parish, 1320 East 51st Street, Austin Texas 78723 with Monsignor Donald Joseph Sawyer presiding.
