Ruby Marguerite Vyoral, 1926–2020

Mrs. Vyoral was a longtime member of Immaculate Conception Church where she served her Lord faithfully and was a member of the Altar Society and sang in the choir. Ruby was very strong in her faith; one of the highlights of her life was witnessing the Pope give Mass in the Vatican on Christmas Eve 2004. In her younger days, and even into her eighties, Ruby loved to dance. She was on several dance teams, including The Classics and The Texas Lone Stars. When Ruby and her husband Louis danced together, the entire room would stop to watch. Ruby served many years as secretary/treasurer for the Pioneer Student Association in Dayton for the reunions every summer. Mrs. Vyoral loved flowers and plants and kept a beautiful yard through every season. She also loved her pets with a passion. Ruby will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
