Bio
Ruby Lois Douglass, age 61, of San Antonio, passed away Saturday morning, December 22, 2018 at her home in San Antonio, after a long, hard fought battle with cancer. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated 11:00 a.m. Friday, December 28, 2018 at St. Mary's Catholic Church of the Assumption in West, with Rev. Timothy Vaverek as celebrant. Ruby Lois was born to Benjamin and Evelyn (Bezdek) Hanak on April 6, 1957 in Ft. Worth. She joined her older sister, Shirley, and her brother, Bennie. Ruby attended Blanton Elementary School, Carter Junior High School, and graduated from Sam Houston High School in Arlington in 1975. She later graduated from Bauder Fashion College with a degree in Fashion Merchandising. Ruby worked at Sanger Harris, Dillard’s and Lillie Ruben as a sales associate and assistant manager. She later worked in advertising for the Thrifty Nickel and the Sacramento Bee. Ruby married the love of her life, Ken Douglass, on March 28, 1980, at the Tarrant County Courthouse in Arlington with her mother, Evelyn, and sister, Debbie, as the happy witnesses. They welcomed their first precious daughter, Lauren Lynn, on October 24, 1982 in Austin. They completed their family with the birth of their darling daughter, Meredith Ann on January 17, 1988. Ruby fought hard in her battle with cancer. Her will to live was strong. Her Christian faith was even stronger. She is loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure. Ruby was preceded in death by her husband, Ken; her brother, Ben Hanak; her nephew, Johnnie Hanak; her niece, Everlee Crowell; and brothers-in-law, Bob Wood and Brad Nelson. Ruby is survived by her daughters, Lauren (Daniel) Keck and Meredith (Jonathon) Keck; her mother, Evelyn Hanak; her sisters, Shirley Nelson and Deborah (Dan) Lackey; her grandchildren, Aidan, Taylor, and Oliver Keck; her nieces, Lisa Wood, Diana (Jesse) Crowell, and Calista Lackey; her nephews, Scott (Loney) Nelson, and Collin and Alec Lackey; and many other relatives and friends.
