Ruth Loya Soto, 75, of Big Spring, Texas was welcomed home into the arms of her Lord on Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021. The family has chosen to have a memorial service to honor and celebrate Ruth’s life at a later date.

Ruth was born July 4, 1945, in Mercedes, Texas. She married Tomas Soto, Sr. on April 28, 1968. Ruth and Tommy had two sons, Tomas Soto, Jr. and Armando Soto.

Ruth will be remembered for her beauty, her friendliness, her phone calls, her love for shopping, her cooking, and so much more.

She will be truly missed by her husband, Tommy Soto; a daughter in law, Charla Soto, four grandchildren, Trey Soto, Christina Perez, Tony Soto, and Teryn Thomasson, seven great grandchildren, two brothers, Noe Luevanos and Rafael Luevanos, Jr., one sister, Mary Weeks, and so many nieces and nephews who had special relationships with her.
