Ruda V. Hartness was born Aug. 24, 1922, in Perrin, Jack County, to John Henry Hartness and Ruda Priscilla Lee Hartness. She was the youngest of seven children. She attended high school in Dallas, where she married her high school sweetheart, Clyde Therman Johnson, on Nov. 25, 1942. She passed from this life to her heavenly reunion on March 8, 2013.
Ruda was part of a team. She put C.T. through school by doing typing at home, reared their children, helped C.T. write books and was his inspiration for songwriting. While C.T. taught school, she served right along side him in the business office or a classroom. Their grandchildren say they never saw one of them without the other. They enjoyed traveling overseas and working together, even in the kitchen. Ruda was a member of Daughters of the American Revolution. Ruda was a woman with an exceptionally sweet spirit who was devoted to God, her beloved C.T., her children and to her church family. We were all blessed to have her in our lives.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, C.T., and six brothers and sisters.
Survivors include three children, Gary Johnson and wife Vicki of Grifton, N.C., David Johnson and wife Beverly of Bryan and Ann Baker and husband Kevin of Lubbock; 15 grandchildren; and 22 great-grandchildren.
The family suggests memorials be to Adventures in Missions, in care of Sunset Church of Christ, 3723 34th St., Lubbock, TX 79410.
Visitation will be from 5 to 7 p.m. today at the funeral home.
