Ruth was born on July 26, 1923, to Benjamin Lonnie and Ellie Elizabeth Gossett in Hill County, Texas. Ruth grew up in San Saba and Bend, Texas, and married James Ivan Hardy in 1945. Ruth was a devoted wife, mother, Christian, and a longtime member of The Church of Christ in Lometa, Texas. She was always there for the family in times of peace or trouble giving much more than she received. We will miss her.
