Ruth Scheller

On the day of October 12th, 2016, Ruth Elizabeth Russell-Scheller passed away at the age of 75 at Lea Regional Hospital. Ruth was born to William and Mabel Russell in the town of Hobbs, New Mexico on December 21st, 1940, where she began a full and active life.

Ruth loved her work. Starting her career as a Secretary for Lea General Hospital, Ruth eventually married Herbert R. Scheller and worked alongside him as co-owner and office manager at Herb's Office Supply. During their 28-year marriage, Ruth and Herb raised four children: two sons and two daughters. Ruth preceded her husband, who passed in 1987, but did not let her mourning stop her from living a full life and remaining active with her job as an office manager at Rockeater/Ozzie's Pipeline Padder. Full of life and laughter, Ruth was an avid fan of the Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys, was always quick with a joke, and enjoyed spending time with her countless books, her Home Shopping Network, and her family and friends. She always missed her beloved husband, however, and it is of great joy and comfort that they are rejoined at last.

As Ruth has reunited with her Herb, she is survived by her four children and their spouses, Mike and Jennifer Scheller, Michael and Laura Brownlow, Beth Scheller-Black, and Steven and Jennifer Scheller. She also leaves behind twelve grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, one of whom is still on the way. Each of those she leaves behind will miss her greatly and appreciate friends and acquaintances who wish to show their support and honor Ruth's memory.
