Alma Ruiz

 Alma Gonzales Ruiz, 79, of Oregon, OH passed away on November 19, 2022, at home with her family, after a hard battle with Alzheimer’s disease.  Alma was born on July 11, 1943, in Scottsbluff, NE, to Joseph Gonzales and Frances (Lucius) Gonzales.  Alma was employed by Jeep Corporation and retired after 16 years of service.  She will be remembered for her love of Bingo and cooking, and her kindness and generosity to everyone that came in contact with her.  She was a self-sacrificing mother who put everyone’s needs above her own.  If she knew that if you were in need or hurting, she would not hesitate to open her home, her heart, and her love to them.

Alma was preceded in death by her husband, Salvador Gallardo Ruiz Jr of 59 years, grandson, Joshua Ruiz, four sisters, and three brothers.  She is survived by her children:  Salvador G. Ruiz III, Joseph G. Ruiz, Cecilia G. Ruiz, Barbara G. Ruiz-Kane (James Kane), Sophia G. Ramos (Francisco A. Ramos), Carmen G. Ruiz, and Kim Stoner (Albert Stoner).  She is also survived by four sisters, Dora, Josephine, Annie, and Genny; 28 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, and six great great-grandchildren.
