Ruth Oliver, 94, of Rogers; passed away Sunday, October 18, 2026, in Huntsville. She was born Tuesday, February 9, 1932, in Clifty, to Thomas D and Minnie Allen Ingmire. She attended Clifty Freewill Baptist, and her strong faith was evident, especially through her love of gospel singing. Ruth was known for being fun-loving with a great sense of humor.

She'd spend her time gardening, going on car rides, or out to eat. She was also fond of watching firework shows and cheering on the Razorbacks. More than anything, though, she loved making those memories with her family. She adored her grandbabies and any time spent with them.

Ruth was preceded in death by her husband of fifty-eight years, Loren Oliver; and her parents, Thomas and Minnie Ingmire. Also preceding her in death were two sons, Lyndall Oliver and James Loren Oliver; and her daughter, Nancy Kappen.

Ruth is also survived by nine beloved grandchildren: Mandy (Michael) Elsey, Shelley (James) Loudermilk, Jennifer Oliver, Dusty Oliver, David (Brandie) Oliver, Brittany (Dillon) Mizer, Amy (Patrick) Hogue, Rachel Worthington, and Aaron Oliver. She also leaves behind thirteen great-grandchildren: Dalton, Mackenzie, Macie, Paetin, Duwey, Reata, Loren, Joanna, Brady, Bexley, Brewer, Charli, and Adaline. Ruth is also survived by a dear friend, Helen Bobbit, who she made many trips into town and out to eat with.

Services are entrusted to Brashears Funeral Home and Crematory of Huntsville.

Survivors

She is survived by two sons and a daughter-in-law, Danny and Jenny Oliver, and Ivan Oliver, all of Clifty; and her son-in-law, Ron Kappen, of Eureka Springs.
