Ruby Bullock

On October 14, 2023, our world lost a remarkable woman, Ruby Ann Bullock. Born on December 15, 1939, in Taos, New Mexico, Ruby's story is one marked by adventure, compassion, humility, and boundless love. She was a beacon of joy and laughter, a social butterfly who never met a stranger, only friends she hadn't yet made. Ruby was a woman of great faith, a dedicated member of Saint Marguerite Catholic Parish, where her warm heart and infectious laugh became a beloved part of the community.
Ruby's adventurous spirit was reflected in her love for travel and her active involvement in various clubs including the Tooele Senior Circle, the Good Sam Club, Home Makers, Council of Catholic Women, and the Sunday Lunch Bunch with her cherished group of friend's. She found joy in the simplicity of daily walks, the thrill of her great-grandchildren's football and softball games, and the camaraderie of Friday night bingo at Saint Marguerite Catholic Church. Even in her humble daily routine, her love for life was evident in her daily cherished 4pm cocktail and joining her friends in their lively Bunco group.
A loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Ruby's family was the centerpiece of her life. She is survived by her son, Clifford (Theresa) Bullock, her grandchildren Samantha Ann Bullock, Megan Breann Bullock, Caitlin Leann Bullock, James (Brooke) Sullivan, Jonathan Sullivan and her great-grandchildren Emberlyn, Raiden, Amara, and Norah, her siblings Oclides(Oakie) Smith and William Mares, and numerous nieces and nephews that considered her like a second Mom. Ruby was preceded in death by her husband, Donald Bullock, her parents Juan Alfonso Mares & Eulogia Mares, Sisters Cora, Lucy, & Alice, Brothers Levi & Ernest Santistevan, Nephew Billy Joe and Niece's Jeanie, Carmen Jean, & Cecilia.

As we reflect on Ruby's life, let us remember the words from Matthew 5:16, "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Just as Ruby's light shone brightly in our lives, may we continue to carry her spirit in our hearts.
