Ruth Sue Ann Robison

Ruth Sue Ann Robison was a devoted mother and partner whose life centered on family and the steady work of caring for those she loved. Public records and news reporting identify her as a mother who accompanied her adult daughter as she sought a safer path after a painful breakup. On November 1, 2024, Ruth died in an act of violence while helping her daughter move; her husband, Tony Ray Robison, was also wounded and survived in critical condition. Those facts mark a sudden and tragic close to a life that, from the available public record, was defined by commitment to family.

Though formal obituary notices matching her name and the exact date of death were not found in funeral-home or family-published channels, local news coverage and official county materials consistently identify Ruth by name and date. Reports describe her as a mother present for her daughter Jasymyne during a difficult transition and as a member of the Urbandale/Des Moines area community whose loss deeply affected relatives and neighbors. A family fundraiser was started after the shooting to help with funeral and medical expenses, reflecting a community response to the sudden need facing Ruth’s loved ones.

What is publicly known about Ruth beyond these circumstances is limited in reliable sources, and no authoritative, family-published obituary with fuller personal details (birth date, employment, hobbies, extended family list) could be located that matches the supplied death date. Out of respect for Ruth and her family, this remembrance centers on verifiable human details: she acted out of love for her child, she shared a life with her husband Tony, and her death on November 1, 2024, left a family and community grieving. If the family or close friends wish to provide additional memories, details of Ruth’s life, or a family-authorized tribute, those would rightly enrich this memorial and preserve the fuller story of who she was beyond the public record.
