Ruth L. Lawrence, was born on November 1, 1934, in Webbers Falls, Oklahoma, to Harry and Krata Lawrence. Our beloved Mother, Grandmother, Aunt, Niece, and friend, passed from this life into eternal life on January 1, 2026 in Reno, Nevada.
Ruth is survived by a son, James David Logan (Peggy), daughter, Linda Logan McAndrews (Jim), and adopted daughter Cathy Landes (Greg). She is also survived by grandchildren including; Aaron Porter (Anne), great granddaughter Ayla; Lisa Logan, great grandchildren Halley (Jeff), Isaac, Elijah, Tatum; James Logan (Melissa), great grandchildren Kaitlyn (Cody), James, Amelia; and bonus grandchildren Josh McAndrews (Michelle), great grandchildren Wyatt, Quinn; Charity Moore (James), great granddaughters Ayla (Matt), Leiga, Adley; Colin McAndrews (Melinda); great granddaughters, Abby, Penny; and great granddaughter Lyra Lane. She is also survived by her Aunts, Delores Deni, and Freda Lawson, nephew Rick Jackson, and niece Kayla Pennington. Ruth’s greatest joy was found in spending time with her large extended family and friends (her grandchildren were her favorites).
Ruth dedicated her life to serving others, incorporating her love of writing, music, art, and faith into everything she did. In addition to being a pastor’s wife, she was a professional musician, singer, songwriter, and music teacher in California and Nevada. Later, she taught Parent Education/Peer Support for Lassen Family Services. Much later, she became an employee of Kanopi Studios.
Ruth was the embodiment of love, kindness, and generosity. She was a creative soul who passionately shared her musical gifts, and will be remembered for her dedication to teaching others how to sing, play, perform, and compose music. She was committed to sharing her faith and authored three books about spirituality. She also loved painting, cooking, baking, and spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life will be held on March 21st at 11:00 a.m. at Crosswinds Assembly of God Church, 2100 El Rancho Dr., Sparks, Nevada.
