Ruth Elaine Zimmerman

Ruth Elaine Robertson Zimmerman, age 61, was released from her years of pain and suffering when her Lord and Savior called her to her heavenly home on January 6, 2025. Ruth passed away unexpectedly at her home in Miami, Oklahoma with her husband in attendance. Ruth was born on December 18, 1963, in Oklahoma City, to Dean and Eva (Mangrum) Robertson. While Ruth is now happy and walking the streets of glory without a hint of pain, those she left behind are suffering insurmountable grief over losing her. Ruth was a unique and special person, a steadfast and loving wife, sister, stepmother, Nama and friend. She made a profound impact on everyone she met. She was thoughtful, generous to a fault, funny and beautiful, inside and out. Although she was kind to the core, she did not hesitate to speak her mind. She was quick to state her opinion about any topic she felt strongly about…and she felt strongly about many topics. She loved God first, then her family and Elvis, although the last two might have been pretty equal. She also loved President Trump, the Oklahoma Sooners, the Red Sox and dogs. Ruth will be sorely missed and while we are deeply heartbroken, our loss is Heaven’s gain. We take comfort in knowing she is reunited with her momma and daddy, her brothers, sister and her beloved Graycie Mae. Ruth enjoyed many years of working for some wonderful people and gave as much energy and commitment to her jobs as she did to other aspects of her life. She was originally from Moore, Oklahoma, where she graduated from Moore High School in 1982. A testament to her impact on others is that she has maintained friendships that she formed in high school, junior high and even grade school. She met the love of her life, her soulmate, in July of 1990 and locked him down by marrying him in November of that same year. Ruth is survived by her devoted husband of 34 years, Tom, her stepdaughter and step son-in-law, Jodi and Rob James, her precious grandchildren, Carly and Wade, stepdaughter, Trisha Martin, her sisters, Sheri Clements, Alice Clary, Christi Hernandez and brother-in-law, Johnny Hernandez, nieces Amanda Seabolt, Jenny Peace, Lana Clary, Lacey Clary, Madison Engel, nephews Jared Clements, Presley Clary, John Robertson and Nathan Anders, great nieces Eva and Reagan and great nephews Blake, Dylan and Kenniston, best friend Holly Patterson and a multitude of loving cousins and friends. Ruth is preceded in death by her mother, Eva Robertson, father, Dean Robertson, brothers Eddie Robertson and Brett Robertson and sister, Janis Stillwell. There will be a memorial service for Mrs. Zimmerman at 1:00 PM, on Saturday, January 18, 2025, at Brown-Winters Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Miami, Oklahoma with Reverend Jarrod Kendall officiating.
