She graduated high school from Ursuline Academy and attended the University of Texas and SMU. She met John Roy Lewis at the Highland Park pool and they were married Feb. 26, 1949. Surviving children include: Claudia Lewis Crocker and her daughters, Kathryn Currin, Cynthia Leigh and Sarah Jo Ashley and her spouse Herman von Hapsburg and their children Claudia Josephine and Gabriel Herman; John Michael Lewis and his children, Alexandra, Madison, and Wyatt; Laura Lewis Chollick and her spouse Richard Chollick and their son William; and many loving nieces and nephews.
Ruth followed in her mother's (Kathryn Currin) footsteps as a successful business woman working for Ebby Halliday for over 40 years. Ruthie lived her life loving and caring for her children, her grandchildren and her great grandchildren who lovingly called her Gaga. In the late stages of her life she was blessed by companionship of our angels Sebrena Gregory, Yvette Cadena and a host of other caretakers who cared for her deeply. She was an extraordinary woman who will be missed dearly.
