I, Ruth L. (Bean) Barclay was born on Tuesday, October 24, 1950, to the late Aaron and Sudie Mae (Scott) Bean, I was the seventh of ten children and had the best parents anyone could ask for. After I was born God immediately broke the mold because he knew I would be one of a kind. My family always said I was late for everything, but on Friday, October 18, 2024, I was ready and on time when God called my name to be one of his angels. Ruth L. (still don't know what the L stands for LOL) I grew up attending Moss Hill Baptist Church, later in life I united with Pleasant Hill Church and then joined Springhill Church where I remained a member.

I attended Scott High School where I met the true love of my life Oliver Barclay, Sr. (who preceded me in death). After Oliver returned from serving in the US Army (Korea, Vietnam) we married and enjoyed 50 years together.

My love letter to my children is simple, just know you were the most important part of my life raising, nurturing and loving you, one daughter Subrinda (Shalone) Barclay, Ft. Worth and two sons Oliver Barclay, Jr. (Tasha) Ft. Worth and Leterone (Keese) Barclay of Woodville, TX. Promise to continue to love each other and be your brother's keeper. Six grandchildren who I absolutely adored. Chelsea Simmons, Taylor Dill, Oliver Barclay III, Olivia Barclay, Omar Barclay and Treyvon Barclay. They will never know if I had a favorite grandchild because I loved each one as individuals. Great grands Channing, Harleigh, Lori, Jaylee to my siblings it was a privilege to be your sister. I ask that you continue to take care of each other, love each other and cherish the memories of the time we spent together. Brothers Clarence Bean and James Bean (Peggy) Woodville, TX and two sisters Isabella Mason (Carl) and Frances Bean-Brewer both of Beaumont TX. Siblings who preceded me in death are Arie Lee Mitchell, Theo Bean, Robert Bean, George Bean and Susie Piper, when I get to heaven it will be a family reunion.

I had a love affair with QVC shopping and could not help myself from shopping. I loved for my shoes to match the purse to match the suit. I enjoyed a cold Michelob light beer, cigarette, fried chicken and corn on the cob. I loved singing in the choir and watching Perry Mason; when Perry was trying to solve a case I would always say he/she know they lying. I knew who committed the crime because I had seen every episode. To my nieces and nephews, you all hold a special place in my heart. Continue to love each other and keep the family together. Well, this is the fourth quarter of my life, no overtime, game is over. I played the game of life with all my heart. I left everything on the field, no regrets. I got my crown, my seat in Heaven is beautiful. I danced when I could, sang and was happy. Never goodbye but see you later
