Mr. David L. Boren

Ruby Boren Dean was born in Carthage, Texas and married David P. Dean in 1953. She resided in Fort Worth and was very active in the local community. She and her husband were longtime members of First Presbyterian Church. Together they were contributors to many colleges and schools through scholarships. Although not having any children of their own, they were instrumental in the lives of many young people through helping them get an education. Ruby was a member of Colonial Country Club, Fort Worth Club and Fort Worth Woman’s Club, where she was active in the Historical Preservation Trust. Mrs. Dean’s husband was a writer and poet so it was fitting that she served as a past president of the Shakespeare Club as well as the Fort Worth Geological and Geophysical Club and the Petroleum Club.

Impact

Mrs. Dean passed away on September 16, 2010 and left a significant portion of her estate in support of higher education including the support of nursing students at SFA through her gift to the SFA Alumni Foundation.
