Ruby Nell Pugh, age 92, of Rover died Friday, December 20, 2013 at Mercy Hospital in Fort Smith. Words cannot begin to describe how much "Mama P." will be missed by her loving family. She was the best wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend that anyone could ever have. She will be fondly remembered for her love, kindness, generosity, and strong faith. The world's tremendous loss is heaven's great gain. Ruby was born September 1, 1921 in Rover to the late Robert Lee Whitten and Margaret Jane Hogan. She was co-owner of Pugh's Grocery and served as Asst. Postmaster in Rover with her husband, W.T."Dub" for thirty-four years. Ruby was a devout member of Rover Baptist Church and was the Treasurer for many years. Mama's motto was always "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." She won the Grand Champion Award in the Clothing Division at the Yell County Fair for many years and all her competitors were glad when she retired and quit entering the competition. Ruby was also an active member of the EH Club for many years. Ruby was "sharp as a tack" and two of her favorite daily activities were to work Jumbo puzzles and solve Wheel of Fortune puzzles.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 68 years, W.T "Dub" Pugh, son Bill Pugh, parents, brothers Jake Whitten and R.L. Whitten, sisters Lula Howell and Myrtle Johnson.
