Ruthie Nell Hall-Busby answered the call to be with the Lord on July 2, 2019. She was the second child born to Luther Hall and Elbessie Stewart-Brown on Jan. 7, 1957, in Waco. Ruthie accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age. She attended and graduated from Jefferson Moore High School with the class of 1975.

Ruthie married Bobby R Snell and to this union three girls were born. She later married Albert Lee Busby on Dec. 3, 1999, in Waco, where they shared their love until her father called her home.

Ruthie was a dedicated employee at Regis Nursing and Regent Care. Upon her death she was employed by McLennan County Juvenile Detention Center.  Her infectious smile and personality affected all who came to know her. She was a diva in her own right, never leaving home without her purse, perfume and most of all never leaving without her face fully made up.
