Alice Lavon Ruble (Chapman)

Alice Ruble, born on January 23rd, 1938 was reunited with her beloved husband Ronald on February 21, 2023 at the age of 85. Alice loved her family and treasured the restored gospel of The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

In her younger days she spent time growing up on the family farm riding horses and enjoying the animals. That enjoyment carried into her adult life as she would go to relatives’ farms to ride horses with her three daughters. That love of animals has lived on with her children and grandchildren.

As a wife and mother, her days were filled with many activities. She got a lot of pleasure in gardening, canning, baking bread, sewing, quilting (even in the last 6 months she made over 22 quilts that she donated to Children’s Mercy) and most importantly giving back to others. Alice volunteered at the Groves for over 20 years where she would assist with pushing wheelchairs, preparing the hymns for Sunday service and visiting with residents.

Alice from an early age embraced the restored gospel and it was the foundation of her life. It is one that was passed to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. To this day, all activity attend with all being baptized or blessed into the church. It is this legacy and the principles of the gospel that she gave her family that truly defines her and her love of God.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and siblings. She is survived by her three daughters, Ronda Ohmer (Tim), LaVon Marshall (Wayne) and Glenda Foss (Clayton); seven grandkids and seven great grandkids.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Center Place Restoration School (CPRS) in memory of Alice.
