Jerry Ray Boles, age 85, passed away on Friday, February 4, 2022, in Mount Pleasant, Texas. Jerry was born on October 15, 1936 in Winnsboro, Texas to Gaston and Opal Boles. He was the oldest son of seven children. He married the love of his life, Ruby Jean Saunders, on January 23, 1962. He was a boilermaker for Local 132 for 32 years. His hobbies included gardening vegetables, spending time with his family, listening to Bluegrass, watching and attending drag racing events, classic cars and mowing grass-to the point of his lawn looking like a golf course. His funny sense of humor, loving heart and gentle kindness will be missed.

Jerry is survived by his beloved wife and best friend of 60 years Ruby Jean Boles, Son, Stephen Boles, Daughter, Charlotte Duckworth and husband Jeff. Grandchildren; Brandon Duckworth and Lauren Duckworth; brother, Robert Boles; sisters, Jewel Rabon and Betty Ann Boles; sisters-in-law Judy Boles and Ginger Boles; half sister-in-law Carol Ann Boley. Special family friends Betsy McKellar and John Fitch.

The family would like to extend specials thanks to Dr. Ghali and his nurse Diane Dunkijacobs Nolton, Dr. Syad and staff at Texas Oncology, Dr. Bove and his staff, and the ICU unit at Titus Regional Medical Center for all of the great care they gave Jerry during his illness.
