Dallas Morning News, October 6, 1992
Services for Ruth Brown Doty, longtime McKinney schoolteacher, will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at St. James CME Church in McKinney.
Mrs. Doty, 82, died of kidney failure Saturday at Pavilion Nursing Home in McKinney.
The native of Whitewright, Texas, graduated from Texas College in Tyler in 1940 and began teaching soon afterward in Lavon. She received a master’s degree in education from Texas Southern University in Houston in 1955.
Mrs. Doty taught at E. S. Doty High School, named for her father-in-law, and at several McKinney elementary schools before retiring in 1975.
She was a member of the board of directors of the Heard Museum, a natural science museum in McKinney, and the Ladies Auxiliary for North Texas Medical Center.
“She did lots of volunteer work,” said her son, Virgil Doty of Rockwall. “She just loved people. There were not many like her.”
Other survivors include four granddaughters and two great-grandsons.
