RUTH GOLDBERG McCLELLAN

Ruth McClellan, 88, of Rosenberg, Texas passed peacefully into the loving arms of her Savior, Jesus Christ on November 25, 2021.

Ruth was born on March 15, 1933 in Burton, Texas to Herman and Nelda Goldberg, the youngest of five siblings. She attended Burton High School, where she loved playing volleyball and was a member of the Pep Squad. She was the first in her family to graduate from high school, graduating in 1951.

She was married to George Franklin (Frank) McClellan in June of 1951 and moved to Rosenberg in 1960. She spent many years in home child care, and had a wonderful, Christian ministry through her work and was affectionately called "Ruthie." Her love for children eventually led her to the role of substitute teacher in LCISD, where she made an abundance of friends and was lovingly known as "Ms. Mac" by all. Ruth was an active and long time member of Calvary Baptist Church in Rosenberg, where she devoted decades to working in the nursery and in Vacation Bible School. She loved her Sunday School class where she spent time in fellowship and Bible study each week. She was always extremely generous in her support of her church, Christian missions and newly started churches.

Ruth is preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, her husband George F. McClellan, and a daughter Jennifer Lynn. Survivors include her daughters and sons-in-law Rebecca and Joe Harris of White Oak, Texas and Mona and Gerald Thompson of Rosenberg; Grandchildren Daniel Harris and wife Christine, Andrew Harris and wife Tara, Sarah Quezada and husband Tony, and Paul Thompson; Great-grandchildren Gideon Harris (Daniel), Joshua, Noah and Luke Harris (Andrew), and Sofia and Micah Quezada; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Our unending gratitude goes out to the staff at Clayton Oaks Assisted Living and Encompass Health and Hospice for their dedicated care and assistance for our Mother, Granny and Gigi.
