Ruth Luna

I still can't believe she has left us. She truly was the most giving, kindest, sweetest and loving person I have ever known. I thought I new Ruthie pretty well but after reading her life story here I really didn't know her at all other than I knew I loved her and was always happy to be with her in whatever project we were working on for school. I know she is happy and smiling down on all of us but she is and will be greatly missed until we meet again. May she always rest in peace. Janice

Mrs. Luna was my GT teacher from 1993-1996. I was also thinking about what an amazing experience it was to be in her classroom. She treated us as young adults and taught us many life lessons such as accountability, integrity and responsibility early on. She made thinking out of the box the norm and gave us many challenges that I now realize had a purpose that would shape us and accompany us into our adult lives (a true master). I will never forget her huge heart and am grateful to have had...

So sad to find this out just now, 3 years later. Ruthie was the sweetest most loving and kind person ever. She will be greatly missed. May she rest in peace....

I am so sad to find this out just now. Ruthie was the sweetest, kindest, loving and most giving person I knew. She was always smiling. I know she is right up in heaven smiling down on all of us. Has there already been a celebration of her life? May she rest in peace. Janice Granieri Hobbs class of 1966....xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Mrs. Luna was my GT teacher from 1991-1996. I was recently thinking about her and what an influence she had had on my education. Being in her classroom are some of my best elementary school memories. Perhaps the adventures she took us on in her classroom contributed to my own desire to travel and that I now live in Norway. So sorry to hear of her passing. She was a beautiful person. Blessings.

Mrs. Luna Luna was my gifted and talented teacher at Oak Hills Terrace elementary from 1994-1999. She was the first teacher I ever felt fully respected by. She called all of us Mr. or Ms. and saw us as full people, capable of achieving great things even in elementary school. I remember how magnetic she was, how safe and free we felt in her classroom, and how she pushed us with love to fulfill our first steps of potential. The last time I saw her was at the funeral of the mother of a dear...

Ruth and I met while both teaching activity classes as NVC. She knew I also taught at Trinity University and told me she'd love to teach at her Alma mater. Upon hearing of Ruth's passing I can't help but remember her special contagious smile and her ever so precious way of being so genuine. I recently have tried contacting Ruth just to touch base and have a chat. It wasn't like her not to respond so my heart goes out to her husband and dear friends and family. Bless her heart~

Dearest Reuben, Ester and EG: I was sad to hear of Ruthie's passing. I am a cousin, daughter of Pete Garza who was Eva's brother. My sisters (Rose and Liz) and cousins of ours are very interested in attending the Celebration of Life event when it is planned. Sad to see her go, but know that she is in the heavenly places with other family members. I hope to see you all soon. Take care and be comforted by His presence.

My beautiful friend of over 50 years .... so many fond memories, so many happy times, so many good laughs!!! I will miss you so much. Every time I see a pair of Chapita earrings I will know you are saying "hello" to me!!! --- Lynn
