Ruth Douville
Ruth E. Douville, 84, of Amity Arkansas, passed away Friday November 25, at her residence. Born July 30th 1927 in Maywood Illinois, she was the daughter of the late Frederick and Florence Woltman.
In addition to her parents, her husbands Robert William Silber and Frank Edward Douville, and her brother Robert F. Woltman of Chicago preceded Ruth in death.
Ruth is survived by her sister Dorothy Runnion of the Chicago area and brother Donald Woltman of Pekin Illinois, and her sons Steven Keith Silber and his wife Connie of Bryan Texas, Thomas Brian Silber and his wife Linda of Ormond Beach Florida, Rev. Robert Christian Silber and his wife Karen of Conover NC, and Frederick Frank Douville and his wife Julie of Amity Arkansas. Her grandchildren are Eric Silber and wife Carla of Austin Texas, Kyle Silber and wife Katie of Allen Texas, Kimberly Brogan and husband Job Voit of NC, Jason Douville and wife Katie of Grand Island NY, and Jamie Douville of Amity Arkansas, along with great-grandchildren Nina Ruth Silber, Seth Elijah Silber, Camron Brogan, Caleb Ferguson as well as many nieces and nephews.
Ruth was a life-long member of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, joining congregations of the various communities in which she lived. Not only did she live her faith but also she passed her faith along to those she touched. Her greatest joy was in the family she raised, praying that her sons would be Christians who were faithful to God. Ruth's prayers were answered as all four sons, and their families, are committed Christians who are active in their churches with a faithful witness of Jesus Christ. She worked as a bookkeeper for Oaklawn Community High School in Oak Lawn Ill., the family business of Douville & Sons Heating, Air Conditioning and Fuel Oil in Deland Fla., and Lake Beresford Yacht Club in Deland Fla.
