Ruth is survived by her son, Dean Sands and Sheri of New Boston, TX; daughter, Jolly Winsor and Calvin of Honobia, Ok; grandchildren, Jacob Sands and Shauna, Zac Sands, Becca Mae Sands; great-grandchildren, Jordeyn, Riley, Douglas, Jase and Zoe; sister, Nita Kelly and Charles; several nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.
