Ruth was born April 11, 1921, to Reverend M.E. and Minnie (Cole) Robinson in Big Springs. Ruth married the love of her life, Glen Mathis, on April 5, 1939, in Lamesa. They moved to a farm in Lynn county that Glen was buying. There was one daughter born to this union, Donna Ruth, on June 19, 1949. They farmed until Glen’s death on April 2, 1983. Ruth was a master seamstress, wonderful cook, and gardener. Since she and Glen were gregarious people and enjoyed the company, she always kept the freezers full for the many friends stopping by.
Ruth is survived by one daughter, Donna of Floydada, one great-niece, Cindy Boyd of Austin, and one niece, Marla Padier of Christoval. Ruth was preceded in death by Glen, her parents, her twin sister, Reba Mathis, and her only grandson Chad Harmon, whom she adored.
