Ruth Tellez Obituary

Ruth L. Tellez, 72, passed away on Friday, January 9th, 2026. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose kindness and selflessness touched everyone who knew her. 

Ruth was a hard worker throughout her life, always putting her family first. She loved her children deeply and was truly obsessed with her grandchildren, who were the pride and joy of her life. Her home and heart were always open, and she greeted everyone with warmth, love, and open arms. Ruth was known as the kindest woman - gentle, generous, and endlessly giving of herself.

She is survived by her loving sons, Jerry O. Tellez and his wife, Patricia, and Christopher H. Tellez; her cherished grandchildren, Carter Tellez and Joaquin Tellez; and her brothers, Jerry Bustillos and his wife, Katy, and Edmundo Bustillo; and her two Godchildren, Erik Bustillos and Ashley Salazar.. Ruth's love for her family was unwavering, and her presence will be profoundly missed.

Ruth leaves behind a legacy of love, compassion, and quiet strength. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and all those who were fortunate enough to know her.
