Ruby Rasor~ Tatanka Ska Wiyan (White Buffalo Woman)
Ruby left us on March 15, 2014 and will be greatly missed by all left behind. She was born on December 23, 1927 to Louise and Lewis Gregg in Frazer, Montana. She attended high school in Frazer where she met and married Pete Matthews also of Frazer. After separating from Pete Matthews, she moved to Oregon where she met and married Jean F. Rasor, Sr. She had eight children: Mike (Moon) Matthews of Wolf Point, Jean (Nancy) Rasor, Jr. of Sweet Home, Oregon, Kerri (Ron) Flitcroft of Coos Bay, Oregon, Kathleen Goodman of Coos Bay, Oregon, Kevin Rasor of Coos Bay, Oregon, Gregg (Lynda) Rasor of Austin, Texas, Melody Rasor of Coos Bay, Oregon, and Candy Nesbitt of Coos Bay, Oregon.
She loved writing poetry, doing crosswords, and reading anything that enhanced her knowledge. She spent so many of her hours in this world playing Texas Hold ‘Em’, bingo, and keno, that everyone that knew her knows that Heaven has a card room where she’ll spend the rest of her time. She was blessed with a very large and loving family.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Louise and Lewis Gregg, sisters Norma Headdress and Vera Garske, her only brother Clark L. Gregg, and special friend Senator Mike Mansfield. She is survived by her sisters Annavieve Cockrell of Great Falls and Vivian Pankowski of Big Lake, Alaska; children Mike, Jean, Kerri, Kathleen, Kevin, Gregg, Melody, and Candy; 23 grandchildren, 43 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great grandchildren. She is survived by numerous nieces and nephews, too many to mention, but loved as much as any.
