Ruth Eloise Carruthers – affectionately known by family and friends as “Weezie” – recently celebrated her 106th birthday reminiscing on three decades spent as a Texas educator. Like many in the profession, one of Weezie’s greatest joys in life has been watching students grow into successful adults. Now, as a longtime retiree, she has been collecting a TRS pension payment every month for more than 40 years. Meet Weezie in our latest “TRS Talks” video.
UPDATE: Following the release of this video, Weezie passed away peacefully in her home on July 13, 2023. TRS sends our condolences to her family and is grateful to have been allowed to share her life and accomplishments with so many of you. Read her obituary here: https://www.elmwoodfuneral.com/obitua...
