Virginia Oubre was born in Houston, Texas on February 2, 1934, and stepped into the presence of her Savior on December 29, 2018. She served for many years as a school teacher and school librarian. Virginia continued working part time in her retirement for many years at the Richardson Public Library. She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. But above all else, she was a devoted servant of her dear Savior and Master, Jesus Christ. Ruth knew God’s incomparable word very well and confidently trusted the magnificent promises that God made to all who believed in his Son. She sought each day to honor Him, to speak of Him, and to live for Him without reservation. All who knew Virginia were blessed to see the character and ways of God displayed through her gentle faithfulness, godly counsel and loving encouragement. Even throughout her long struggle with Parkinson’s disease, she continued to minister to others. Her earnest desire for all whom she knew and loved was that each one would come to share in the joy she experienced daily in her relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ.
She leaves behind her sister, Alice Ott; daughters, Sharon Oubre, Debbie Wright and husband Tom, and Lari Oubre; grandchildren, Jessica and Jeffrey Wright and Travis Oubre; and nephews, Jon Hodge and wife, Jayne, and Brad Hodge and wife, Christie.
