It is with sad hearts that the family of mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Ruby Elaine Adams announce her peaceful passing into God’s eternal glory on Monday, April 7, 2025.

Born into the family of a Methodist minister in Anson, TX on August 3rd, 1941, Elaine was a graduate of Palo Duro High School in Amarillo, Texas and later obtained a Bachelors of Science from West Texas State University in Canyon, TX and a Masters degree in Education from Sul Ross State University in Alpine, TX.

She is also survived by her siblings Weymond Dunn (DeSoto, TX), Eleanor Goen (Amarillo, TX), Treva Taylor (Abilene, TX), and Barbara Miller (Coleman, TX).

Known by family and friends for her love of table games, Elaine also thoroughly enjoyed the almost daily challenge of crossword puzzles and was an avid reader of all genres.
