Ruby Ann Farrar Jackson, age 70, was unexpectedly called home by her Lord and Savior June 3rd, 2013.
Ruby was born October 1st, 1942 in Farmerville, LA to Oscar and Audrey Farrar. Through grade school Ruby was active in band, 4-H club, Student Council, and Drama. She was voted most wittiest in her graduating class of 1960 at Farmerville High School. She participated in pageantry and used her Ms. Louisiana proceeds to pay for her college education. Ruby graduated from Louisiana Tech University in 1964 with her Bachelors of Business Administration.
May 3rd, 1968, Ruby married Wayne Jackson in Galena Park, TX. She and Wayne moved to Atascocita, TX where they began their family and had two beautiful boys, Lowell and Keith. Ruby also established a successful broker owned real estate business called Farrar Jackson Properties servicing the Atascocita/Kingwood community for over 35 years. Ruby and Wayne worked together as the first Atascocita real estate dream team and completed over 250 transactions in her career. Ruby later welcomed three beautiful grandchildren whom she dearly loved and would care for with the drop of a hat.
Ruby is survived by her husband of 45 years, Lowell Wayne Jackson; sons Lowell Wayne Jackson Jr. and Keith Farrar Jackson; daughter-in-law Brigette Jackson; granddaughters Addyson June Jackson, Avery Farrar Jackson, and Audrey Grace Jackson.
Ruby Ann Farrar Jackson, loving daughter, sister, aunt, wife, mother, and Gigi... You will be extremely missed until we meet again sweet angel!

Ruby was always there when I needed to talk. Never too busy and one of my dearest friends. Remember the first time to meet was in Gerlands when both of us were buying something to cook for dinner. She had a watch just like mine and out of no where someone took my arm and ask where did I get the watch. Friends forever.

Wayne, Keith & Bridgett:
Ruby was always a one-of-a-kind Lady...the epitomy of a Southern Belle. Her intelligence, humor and beauty were only 3 of her many amazing attributes. Please know that she will be greatly missed and always lovingly remembered. Thanksgiving will never be the same without her, but I know she & my David will be shining down on us all. May your years of incredible memories with your Southern Angel bring you peace and guide you through this challenging time.

She truly has her "Silver Wings". My deepest sympathy to the family she loved. She cherished her friends and I was lucky enough to be one. We shared many great times together and will be in my heart forever!

I am so grieved to learn of Ruby Ann's passing. I have precious memories of our years together in Farmerville as we went through high school together. She was even my maid of honor at my wedding! I remember visiting in Humble and enjoying that time also. How I have missed her over the years and now can only look forward to reuniting in heaven someday. May God's blessings and peace be evident to you.

I am sorry to hear of Ruby Ann's passing. Have fond memories of her during our high school years. The last time I saw her was in Houston in the late 60's and we had a great visit, she was as funny as ever. My prayers are with the family.

So sorry to hear about my dear high school friend. I'm so glad that I got to talk to her 2-3 months ago. Have not seen her in so long but thought about her often. My thoughts and prayers go to her family in the days and months ahead.
