Ruby Stephens Obituary
Ruby Christine "Chris" Stephens died at Abode Hospice in San Antonio May 21st, ending her battle with cancer. Born April 17th, 1938 in Cocoa, Florida to the late William and Ruby McDermid Stephens and is survived by her sister Mary Anne Stephens of Milwaukee, Wisc. Chris graduated from Texas Women's University in 1960 and earned a Master's degree from St. Mary's University in 1972.

Oh Chris, First I wish to thank you for being my other mother. You taught me how to be a good person, how to treat people, how to work hard, you taught me how to be right with those that I work for and work with. I know you are with Mia and she was very happy to see you! Jessi {your name sake} and I will never forget all you have taught us. All my love Peggi
