Ruby Irene (Bovee) Annalora passed away, surrounded by her family, on June 4, 2018.
Ruby was born in Miles City, Montana on August 22, 1921 to Truman Alphie and Rosetta L. (Lewis) Bovee. Ruby was the third of six Bovee siblings: Truman Alphie, Jr., Jennie Opal, Pearl Rose, William Robert and Boyd Bernard. She graduated from Custer County High School in 1940. Ruby married Samuel H. Annalora on August 24, 1940, and they had four children over the next sixteen years: Virginia Rose, Vicki Lynn, Terry Joseph and Lindy Catherine.
Ruby spent most of her time as a homemaker. She worked for a period at the Sacred Heart School Lunch Program and was involved in various clubs and organizations over the years. She enjoyed various sports and was a Seattle Seahawks fan. She liked to do embroidery and created many sets of dish towels and quilts for family and friends. Every year for over forty years Ruby and Sam, which became an annual tradition, camped on the Madison River with family. She travelled several times to the west coast to visit family and enjoyed spending time on the Oregon Coast. Ruby was a member of Sacred Heart Parish and a past member of St. Francis Circle.
Ruby is survived by her children Virginia (Joe) Weiss, Terry (Myra) Annalora and Lindy Annalora; grandchildren Julie (Andy) Younggren, Jill Boettcher, and Brian Weiss; great-grandchildren: Brandelle (Brad) Delph, Jeremy (Arianna) Younggren, Andrea (Ryken) Wernofsky, Christina Younggren, Bradly Boettcher, Holly Boettcher and Kianna Weiss; great great grandchildren Adrianna Delph, Kaleb Delph, Keller Younggren, Kittson Younggren and Josephine Wernofsky; and sister-in-law Louise Annalora. Ruby is also survived by several nieces and nephews who were all special to her, but most especially Mary Rose Bovee and Pam Bovee, and a special friend Diane Hathaway.
Ruby was preceded in death by her parents, siblings, husband Samuel H. Annalora, daughter Vicki Lynn Annalora, and Grandson-in-law Greg Boettcher. Her family would like to thank the staff of Holy Rosary Healthcare Hospice and Extended Care.

I was lucky enough to be around the Bovee and Annalora clan growing up and remember your mom being such an
important part of all the planning and cooking and organizing. You were blessed to be a part of such a joyous family.
Not many years ago I was over at the house and she told me about a great book she was reading. We should all be lucky to be as alive and vibrant into our 90’s.
