DAVIS FAMILY
FUNERAL HOME
DEWEY, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)
Margaret Ruth Duncan, 86, of Dewey, died peacefully with her children by
her side Friday in Dewey. She is in the arms of her Lord and Savior but
Grandma Ruth will be missed by her family and friends.
Ruth was born the daughter of Charlie and Shelly (Carr) Bias on December
10, 1934, in Porter, OK. Her family were sharecroppers who followed the
harvest throughout eastern Oklahoma. Once old enough to strike out on
her own Ruth came to Bartlesville for work. Ruth decided to raise her
family in the Bartlesville and Dewey area. She worked for the
Bartlesville Public Schools, ending her career as head baker at Central
Middle School.
Mutual friends set Dale and Ruth up on a blind date. Dale arrived
looking spiffy in a suit and the rest is history - they were united in
marriage on March 24, 1986. Ruth’s children took to Dale quickly and
over their 30-year marriage appreciated his commitment to their mother
and family.
Ruth was a faithful Christian and longtime member of the Dewey Church of
the Nazarene. She read her bible daily, prayed often, and found joy in
teaching Sunday School and being active in the various activities of the
church. Dale and Ruth were good stewards of God’s blessings and they
bought and managed investment properties. In their free time the couple
hosted Friday night jam sessions with friends playing Country Western
and Gospel music. Most of all Ruth loved her family and cherished the
time spent with her precious grandchildren. She was a loving and Godly
example whose sweet smile and gentle spirit will be dearly missed.
Ruth is survived by her children, Linda Sawyer and Bobby of Broken
Arrow, Rose Peace of Owasso, Teresa McSparrin and Billy of Springdale,
AR, and James Baughman and Katrina of Bartlesville; nine grandchildren,
Bobbi Sawyer Lucas and Rhett, Scott Sawyer and Amber, Lacey Deckard,
Garrett Kitchel, Lane Kitchel, Trey Kitchel, Blake Baughman and Cameron
Baccus, Will Baughman and Madi Baughman; and eight great grandchildren,
Sawyer, Blane, Drew, Kolton, Kayliegh, Tayson, Halley, Christina and
Savannah.
She is preceded in death by her parents, beloved husband Dale,
daughter Lisa Kitchel, grandson Arlen Deckard, seven brothers and seven
sisters.
Ruth’s family will receive friends at the Davis Family Funeral Home –
Dewey Chapel, 918-534-3030, 113 S. Osage (Hwy. 75), Dewey, on Monday,
