Ruth M. Daniel

RUTH DANIEL, of Little Rock, died Thursday, Aug. 30, 2012. Her family affectionately thought of Ruth as the Energizer Bunny because despite two bouts with cancer, the death of two husbands, a child and a grandchild, she just kept going. She devoted her life to teaching in the parochial school system and upon retirement began her new career as a volunteer at Doctor's Hospital contributing over 13,000 hours of volunteer service. She was a member of Our Lady Of The Holy Souls Catholic Church. She was born Oct. 22, 1918 in Hoboken, N.J. and was reared on Long Island, N.Y. The need for an affordable college education brought her to State Teacher's College in Conway (now UCA) where she married Ernest Moix and reared six children: Maureen Elms (John) of Colorado Springs, Colo., Kathleen Heilman (Allan) of Belleair, Fla., Melanie McMath (deceased), Marijo Norris (John), Ernie Moix (Denise) and Michelle Miller (Lance) all of Little Rock. She leaves behind 11 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She was also predeceased by her husband Fulton W. Daniel who died in 2007. Visitation will be Monday from 6 to 7 p.m. with a Rosary at 7 p.m. at Griffin Leggett Healey & Roth, 5800 West 12th Street in Little Rock. Mass of Christian Burial will be 10 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 4, at Our Lady of the Holy Souls Catholic Church with Fr. Erik Pohlmeier as Celebrant. Interment will follow at Pinecrest Memorial Park. Memorials may be made to Monsignor Allen Trust Fund, c/o Holy Souls School, 1001 North Tyler, Little Rock, Ark. 72205.
