Ruby Mae (Warden) Williams

August 19, 1937 – Sept 25, 2025

Ruby Mae Williams, 88, of Tuttle, OK, passed peacefully surrounded by the love of her family.

Born August 19, 1937, in Noblick, Missouri, to Joel G. Warden and Carry Murray Warden.

Ruby's life was a shining example of devotion, faith, and love.

She is preceded in death by her parents Joel and Carrie Murray Warden, beloved son, Albert

Williams Sr.; granddaughter, Elizabeth Williams; and siblings Iva Nagel, Charlie Warden,

Glenwood Warden, Grace Lauritzen, Norma Durden, Bernice Thomlinson, Raymond Warden,

and Alice Hardy.

Ruby is survived by her devoted husband of 71 years and 11 months, Jack R. Williams, who

was the love of her life and constant companion. Together, they built a family that became

Ruby's greatest joy. She leaves behind her children Debbie (Bill) Hatfield, Jack (Janie) Williams,

Lonnie (Sheki) Williams, Angela (Billy) Bradshaw, Michael (Pam) Williams, and Melissa (Tim)

Erhardt. She is also survived by 24 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren, and 7

great-great-grandchildren, each of whom she cherished deeply.

Ruby's life was one of service to her family and to the Lord. Her greatest calling was

motherhood, and she poured her heart into raising her children and grandchildren. She was

happiest in the kitchen, where her cooking was her ministry-always made with love, always

with the worry there might not be enough. Her home was filled with the sound of her voice,

whether singing gospel hymns or belting out bluegrass at the top of her lungs. Ruby's voice was

more than music; it was an outpouring of her joy and faith.

She delighted in simple pleasures-treasure-hunting at garage sales, dressing in her finest

clothes and jewelry, and baking for those she loved. Though her childhood was marked by

hardship, Ruby found in Jack a partner who made it his mission to ensure she never wanted for

anything. She cherished every blessing and never failed to show gratitude for what she had.

She embraced Jesus Christ as her Savior in 1962, a commitment that guided her every day

thereafter.

Her favorite pastimes included being surrounded by family-the center of her world, singing at

her church, baking, and watching NCIS.

Ruby Mae Williams was a woman of faith, beauty, and strength. She lived a full and meaningful

life, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and song. She will be remembered always for her

generous heart, her radiant voice, and the way she made everyone feel cared for.

Visitation for Ruby will be held from 4:00-8:00pm, on Thursday, October 2, 2025, at the John M. Ireland Funeral Home

& Chapel, located at 120 South Broadway, in Moore, Oklahoma. The family will be receiving guests from 4:00-5:00pm.

Services to celebrate her life will be held at 11:00am, Friday, October 3, 2025, at Abundant Life Church, located at

777 SW 19th St., in Moore, Oklahoma, with Pastor Mark Fuller officiating. Services are under the direction of the

John M. Ireland Funeral Home & Chapel, Moore, Oklahoma.
