Ruby Mae Mann Irle, age 87, passed away on Wednesday, July 9, 2025. She was born in San Antonio, TX to parents John F. and Erna (Rehfeld) Mann. Ruby attended Harlandale Middle School through the 8th grade. She, then, had to work in the flower fields since old society thought girls didn't need any more schooling. Determined, she obtained her GED at age 48. She loved to sing and play guitar where she was active in Schertz Senior Center choir. She attended both Grace Community Church in U.C. and St. Paul's Evangelical Church Cibolo. Of all her pursuits, Ruby was most proud to be a wife, mother, grandparent and friend.
