Ruby Husfeld Memoriam

Husfeld
With heavy hearts, the family of Ruby Maurine Holderrieth Husfeld, shares the news of her passing on February 22, 2025. She was at her home in Erwin, Texas, surrounded by her loving family.
Ruby was born on March 30, 1931, to John and Lena Froehlich Holderreith. On November 21, 1948, Ruby married Gilbert William Husfeld. In 1953, they moved from Tomball to Piedmont near Anderson, where they established a dairy farm until the mid-1980s. The couple was blessed with six children. In the early 1980s, Gilbert and Ruby moved from Piedmont to Erwin, where they would spend the remainder of their lives. Ruby made the numerous holidays, birthdays, and special events memorable as she relished spending time with the family that had grown so large. Her strong faith and trust in the Lord allowed her to put aside any worrisome thoughts, focusing on only positive outcomes. Ruby is finally getting some much-deserved rest in God's loving arms.
She is preceded in death by her parents, three brothers, one sister, her beloved husband of 62 years, Gilbert William Husfeld; and their son, Gary Alan Husfeld.
Left to cherish her memory is her daughter-in-law Dottie Husfeld; sons, Dennis W. Husfeld and wife Jo, Steven Husfeld and special friend, Marla Stolz Carroll; daughters, Elaine Davenport and husband David, Diane Hadley and husband James, and Cathy Wheaton and husband Herman. She is also survived by her sister, Arlene Wottrich; and sister-in-law, Neva Broad. Ruby leaves behind a legacy of twenty-five grandchildren; and sixteen great-grandchildren. God is good.
