Ruby Herzog

Heaven received another angel on April 13, 2014, as 82-year-old Ruby Fae Herzog answered our Lord’s call to come home.

Ruby was born on February 2, 1932, in Waelder, Texas, to Johnny Hearn and Neomi Hearn-Cloud. She came to Skidmore at the age of 17 years when she answered an ad in the paper for a waitress position at one of the local café’s. This is where she met and married Henry G. Herzog, her husband of 32 years.

Later in life Ruby was a manager of several local convenience stores where she was not only loved and respected by her colleagues, but by its patrons. She was known to always have a smile on her face and was a friend to all.

She is preceded in death by her parents; husband; and her son, David L. Herzog.

She is survived by her brother, Jim (Della) Hearn of Flatonia, TX; and sisters, Lois Foxell of Yoakum, TX, Judy (Larry) Barre of Rockport, TX, and Jewel (Delton) Spree of Edna, Texas; her children, George (Marsha) Herzog of Aransas Pass, Texas, Katherine Tollette and G. Henry Herzog both of Skidmore, Texas, and Patty (Neal) Bieler of Glen Rose, Texas. She was blessed with 16 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren; as well as many nephews and nieces.
