Ruby Martin Obituary

TRUMANN - Ruby Nell Stroman Martin of Trumann, passed away on Dec. 22, 2024, at the age of 81 years. She was born Aug. 25, 1943, in Terrell, Texas, to the late William "Bill" and Pearl Casto Stroman also of Terrell.

"Billy T." Stroman, James Stroman and Paul Crow, and her sisters, Lila Crow Geddings, Thelma Crow Burgess, Gladys Crow Moore, Bonnie Crow Dudley and Jessie Crow Cramblet, all of Texas.

Ruby was a member of First Baptist Church in Trumann. Prior to becoming a housewife, she worked office positions in the hospital, insurance and funeral home industries. Because of her lifelong love of reading, she began working part time at the Trumann Public Library until her retirement.
