Alice Ruth was born on August 21, 1928, in Camp Worth Community, San Augustine, Texas, to Eva Mae Thacher, and James Dewey Brown. She graduated from Redland High School in Redland, Texas and went on to graduate from Pineywood Business College in Lufkin, Texas. She met the love of her life, Edward John Armand, Jr., at Western Electric in 1950, and they married on April 16, 1951.

She is preceded in death by her Mother, Eva Mae, and Father, James Dewey Brown, and two sisters, Lillian McSwain and Rachel Fountain, and two brothers, JD Brown and Howard Lee Brown. After a full life of a great family and careers and grand children, the death of her husband, Ed, in 1991, caused her to rethink retirement and she continued her business career. During this second part of her life, she celebrated two weddings for both of her granddaughters, and welcomed 3 great-grandchildren.

When her daughter and son-in-law opened their company and offered her The Senior Bookkeeper Position at Ceutical Labs, Inc., in 2007, she also became the Matriarch of the company. Ms. Ruth, as she is best known by employees and friends, and Mom or Memoe, as she is known to her family and grandchildren, continued to be admired for her high energy and worked successfully full-time, until February this year, when her health took a downward turn.

Alice Ruth is survived by her daughter, Susanne Armand and husband, Courtland Imel, her son, Edward James Armand and wife, Nancy, and her son, Paul Jean Armand, beloved former daughter in-law, Donna, Ken Stevenson, beloved former son-in-law.
