Ruby Pearl Guinn

With broken hearts but grateful spirits, we share the passing of our beloved mother, Ruby Pearl Arles (Guinn), who left this world on September 29, 2025, at the age of 85. Mom was the heart of our family - steady, selfless, and full of love. She gave us roots and wings, teaching us strength through her own example and reminding us daily that kindness and faith are never wasted. She had a way of making everyone feel at home in her presence, whether through her warm smile, her gentle words, or simply by visiting and sharing meals. She cherished the simple joys of life. Church and worship were a priority, yet she never passed up a garage or yard sale. She loved collecting treasures, clothing, and food for everyone she knew. She always thought of others, and giving brought her immense joy. Music was also a passion - she loved Gospel, Bluegrass, and Country music, as well as classic western movies featuring John Wayne or Clint Eastwood. But her greatest joy was always her family and friends. To her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, she was more than a mother - she was our anchor, our encourager, and our safe place. Mom leaves behind a family who adores her: son, Clifford Arles; daughter, Thelma Peery; brothers, Frank Wallace and Roy Wallace; grandchildren, David Arles, Tiffany Henry, Clayton Henry, Eric Arles, Carolyn Ruby Arles, Joseph Arles, Misty Peery, and Kenny Jo Peery; and numerous great- and great-great-grandchildren. She is reunited in heaven with our father, Floyd Leon Arles; children, Richard Leon Arles and Janie Alexander; grandson, Daniel Alexander; parents, William and Lillie Wallace; sisters, Ellen, Lola, Rosie, Cora, and Annie; and brothers, William, Ted, Junior, Johnny, Gene, and Jessie Lee. We will celebrate her life on October 10, 2025, in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, 1:00 p.m. at DeArman-Clark Funeral Home. She will be laid to rest at Condon Grove Cemetery in Milburn, Oklahoma, beside our father. All are welcome to join us as we honor the incredible woman she was and the love she gave so freely. Though we grieve for her absence, we will carry her in our hearts forever. Mom's love was her greatest gift to us - and that love will never fade. "Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.'" - Proverbs 31:28–29
