Ruth A. (Graley) Lomax

Ruth A. Lomax, 79, of Monroeville, passed away Tuesday evening, March 28, 2023, at Toledo Hospital.  

Ruth was born on April 13, 1943, in Ashford, West Virginia, to the late Mildred (Allen) Graley and Bruce Graley. She graduated from Sherman High School in West Virginia and moved to Ohio after marrying James Lomax, the love of her life. She was a dedicated bus driver of over 25 years for Monroeville Local School and Christie Lane. In later years, she enjoyed monthly lunches with the Christie Lane retirement group. Ruth could always be found at the sporting events of her grandchildren. She also enjoyed staying active and being adventurous when the opportunities presented themselves. A devoted wife and mother, her family was her greatest joy.
