Ima Ruth (Weaver) Ulmer

Ima “Ruth” Ulmer, 81, of Muldrow passed this life Friday, May 15, 2020, at her home. She was born December 21, 1938, to Harry and Ruby Weaver in Muldrow, OK. Ruth graduated from Muldrow High School and was a lifelong resident of the area. She was preceded in death by her husband Rev. Garry Ulmer, her parents Harry and Ruby Weaver, and four siblings, Junior Weaver, Floyd Weaver, Dorthene Younger, and Sue Edwards.

Ruth was a dedicated Mother and Nana, who loved her family fiercely. She loved going to church, spending time with her boys, and talking with her sisters. She was the epitome of selflessness and her final prayer was to help her boys and sisters get through her passing, never once asking for anything for herself. Her laugh was infectious, and she will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is survived by three sons, Garry Ulmer and wife Yvonne of Muldrow, OK, Bobby Ulmer of Muldrow, OK, Larry Ulmer and wife Cindy of Poteau, OK; four grandchildren, Andrea Ulmer of Sallisaw, OK, Nathan and Griffin Ulmer of Poteau, OK, Amanda Ulmer of Fort Smith, AR; four great grandchildren, Spencer Dewitt of Roland, Jenna Dewitt, Isaiah Ulmer, Ver’Anda Roach of Fort Smith, AR, five sisters and brothers-in-law, Joe and Barbara Lee, Wayne and Fern Riggs, Lonnie and Twila Younger, Thomas and Carolyn Studie, and Bruce and Janice McQuain; and numerous nieces and nephews.
