Ruth

Perry

Ruth Collene (Carman) Perry, or Honey as she was known by most of the family, 87, formerly of Newcastle, went home to be with the Lord on June 8, 2025, in Oklahoma City.  The daughter of Mike and Hazel May (Hibdon) Carman, Ruth was born on March 20, 1938 in Woodville, Oklahoma.

Ruth grew up in Oklahoma City and attended Capitol Hill High School.  She worked as a cosmetologist for many years and owned and operated her own beauty salon called The Doll House for over twenty years.  She moved to Newcastle in 1963 after living in the Moore/OKC area.  Ruth was a member of the First Baptist church of Newcastle and taught Sunday School and went on several mission trips with the church.  She enjoyed going to Bible studies at church also and fellowship with her brothers and sisters in Christ.  Ruth had gone on a few cruises with Crystal and her family and enjoyed her vacations with the occasional Pina Colada.  She liked to play bingo, dominoes and doing any sort of craft you could think of.  Ruth loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren.  She would have given the shirt off of her back for anyone in need and her smile warmed the hearts she was around.  She will be held strongly in the hearts of all of her family and friends until they meet again.

Ruth is preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Bill Joe Perry; and two grandsons, Michael Bryner and Jimmie Rich.

She is survived by her 3 brothers, Glenn Carman and wife Georgia of Owasso, Kenneth Carman and wife Wanda of Edmond, and Darrell Carman of Dibble; her two sons, Mike Perry and wife Liz of Norman and Keith Perry and wife Joyce of Decatur, Arkansas; her two daughters, Cynthia Weaver of Cairo, Georgia, and Sherry Bryner and husband Bill of Moore; her grandchildren, Valerie Perry, Mikey Perry, Crystal Russell, Lukus Perry, Destiney Perry, Lucinda Perry, Julia Hall, Joe Rich, Linda Myers, Alyssa Fitch, Lacey Lane, Stacey Beck, Jason Stewart, Karen Stewart, and Christopher Hayes; great grandchildren, Crislyn, Kelsey, Maverick, Caleb, Tobi, Reno, Holly, Hunter, Collin, Travis, Matthew, Isaac, Evalyn, Elizabeth, Noah, Hazel, Lilly, Wren, Violet, Eamon, McKayden, Ryker, Londyn, and Grayson; and several nieces and nephews.
