In loving memory of Frances Ruth Reuber, who departed this life on July 15, 2025, at the Weatherford Assisted Living Center in Weatherford, OK. Frances's journey began on a magical Christmas Day in 1949, in the heart of Clinton, OK, where she was welcomed into the world by August and Edna (Kirschner) Reuber. Her early years were filled with lively pursuits, including her time on the women’s basketball team at Cordell High School, where her vibrant spirit shone brightly.
Following her graduation, Frannie, as she was lovingly called by her family, pursued her dreams at Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford, earning a bachelor’s degree in biology. Frances dedicated her life to the medical field, first serving as a laboratory technician at Presbyterian Hospital in Oklahoma City, and later as a Merck Pharmaceutical Representative, where her impact reached far and wide through the communities in Oklahoma and Springfield, Virginia. In her heart, family remained paramount, and she returned home in her father’s final days, showcasing the depth of her love and devotion.
A lover of life and dogs, Frannie had a penchant for sweets and a soft spot for her beloved lab, Lady. She embraced the beauty of travel, cherishing her adventures, holding dear the moments from a breathtaking journey to Iceland, where nature's splendor left her in awe. Frances found joy in the simple pleasures—a glass of wine at sunset, with a gentle breeze painting the sky in hues of orange and pink from her balcony.
In her final days at Homestead Assisted Living, Frances found herself surrounded by a compassionate team who reflected the warmth and kindness she effortlessly shared with everyone she encountered. Frances will be remembered not only for her accomplishments but also for the love she spread.
Frannie is survived by her brother, Stanley “Stan” Reuber and wife, JoAnn of Yukon, OK; nieces, Marisha and Erin, as well as a host of other nieces, nephews and cousins.
She is preceded in death by her parents, August and Edna Reuber and her precious fur baby, Lady.
