Ruth L. Vick, age 98, formerly of New Waverly, TX passed away Friday, December 30, 2022 at Creekside Methodist Retirement Community in Huntsville, TX. Ruth was born on December 27, 1924 to Clarence and Andrea (Hansen) Lynner of El Campo, TX. Raised as a rice farmer's daughter she was the embodiment of hard work. At the tender age of 15, Ruth was confirmed and dedicated her life to her savior at First American Lutheran Church in El Campo. Later in life she became a member of the First United Methodist Church in New Waverly where she taught Sunday School, prepared communion, and cleaned the sanctuary.

Ruth married the love of her life Clinton Vick on June 12, 1948 and enjoyed 66 years of marriage before Clinton passed away in 2014. Ruth and Clinton had two children, Donna Vick of Huntsville and Robert who preceded her in death in 2008.

Ruth was a vendor at Blue Bonnet in Huntsville and sold items out of her Prairie Switch Shop. Many times she gave things away and every organization knew of her generous donations. Her mailbox overflowed and reflected her calling of giving. Her giving was everything from food, clothes, money, a ride to a place, as this was her talent that she shared with everyone not just to her children and family. She shared all that she had.

Ruth had many loves in her life including her family, pets, antiques, sewing, crocheting, gardening, travel, crossword puzzles, canning, music, and farming, BUT most of all she loved her LORD. God rest her soul of a long life and may He crown her head with gold and light.

Ruth is preceded in death by her parents, husband, Clinton, son, Robert, sister and husband, Clarice and George Green. She is survived by daughter Donna and 5 grandchildren Misty, Keely, Mindy, Robert, and Jamie. Great grandchildren Lyrical, Zayne, Alaysia, Lilyanna, Carmen, Kadence, Breyden, Carter, and Reece.

The family is also very grateful and appreciative to Billy and Martha Vick, Jessie and Regena Johnson, and the entire staff of Creekside MRC.

Honorary pallbearers will be Breyden Harvey, Zayne Mandujano, C.J. Doby, Casey Aguillard, Billy Vick, Thomas Vick, Hayne Vick, Marcus Vick, Robert Vick, and Jamie Vick.

Visitation for Ruth will be held Friday January 06, 2023 from 12-2 pm at Heritage Oak Funeral Home followed by graveside service at 2:30 pm at East Sandy Cemetery.
