Mary Carr Obituary
Mary Ruth Carr was born August 03, 1942 in El Paso Texas. She was the daughter of Hayward (Deceased) and Mary Lou Butler (Deceased). Mary Ruth was a graduate of Jefferson High School and a long-time employee of the El Paso County Sheriff's Department. She was a lifelong member of the Mount Zion Baptist Church in El Paso TX. Mary Ruth was called home to be with our Lord on Saturday November 26, 2023. Mary Ruth is survived by her husband of forty-two years, Mr. Frank Carr and her three children Travis Childress (wife Carol), Theresa Hall (husband Tony), and Deann Warren. In addition. Mary Ruth had eight grandchildren: Tony Hall (wife Melissa), Darryl Warren, Ashley Escarcega (husband Emmanuel), Eric Warren, Tanya Hall, Dion Warren (wife Mary), Tasha Childress, and Tyson Childress and a host of Great Grandchildren. Mary Ruth was preceded in death by one of her great-grandchildren Julius Alexander Warren, and her parents Hayward and Mary Lou Butler.
Mary Ruth or "GG" as she was affectionately called by her grandchildren and great grandchildren lived a life of service and care. Mary Ruth had a zest for life as an avid fisherman, a fan of the Dallas Cowboys and Boston Celtics; Mary Ruth was always the life of the party. She was a caretaker, who put the needs of others above her own. During her life she worked with troubled children at the former Santa Teresa Adolescent Treatment Center as well as a babysitter for her numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and family friends. Everyone knew that you could always get a hot meal at Aunt Mary's (GG) house. Her "Black Burritos" were world famous! She will be remembered for her kindness, stern hand, and most of all as a Mother to everyone that entered her home.
