To Celebrate a Life of Love: Ruby Nash Wilson
January 26, 1924-April 22, 2022
Ruby Nash Wilson, age 98, passed away in Austin, Texas on April 22, 2022. She was born in rural Roff, Oklahoma on January 26, 1924. As an Air Force wife, she moved frequently with her husband, Bob, before settling in Shavano Park, Texas where they lived for 45 years. In 2015, they celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary in their Shavano Park home. The next year, they moved to Austin to be near their daughters. Bob passed away in 2017.
As an active member of the St. Frances of Assisi Catholic Church, Ruby helped organize the Society of the Rosary and served as its chairperson for 20 years. She and Bob were charter members of the St. Francis senior group, the Silver Stars.
Ruby was a skilled seamstress and an accomplished artist but above all was a devoted wife and mother. She is survived by two daughters and their husbands, Claudia and Dan Anderson and Charlotte Wilson and Mike Roberts; a grandson, Robert Anderson, his wife Rebecca Deason and their daughters Emma and Elizabeth; and a granddaughter, Judith Jones, her husband, John Jones and their sons Carter and Dylan.
We will celebrate Ruby’s life at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church on Monday, May 9, 2022. We will pray the Rosary at 11:30 am, celebrate Mass at 12 pm, hold a reception in Henke Hall immediately following the Mass, and go to Holy Cross for the burial at 3 pm.
