Glen was most recently known as Pops or Pop Pop. His favorite person in the whole world was his wonderful wife of 54 years Mary Ann. They have two children, seven grandchildren and a great granddaughter.

He was a country boy at heart, a master craftsman and perfectionist who could build anything, and an entrepreneur who bravely and boldly started his own business (Swan Tile) that served clients for 30 years with a keen eye for detail.

Most of all, his life is marked by his faith in Christ and the lives he touched through his humble heart and his work in the church. He once said that his objective in life was “to serve the Lord my God with all my heart and all my soul.”

He accepted Christ at age 7. Over the years, he was a member of Pharaoh Baptist Church, Immanuel Baptist Church in Henryetta, four churches in Tulsa (Belview, Gracemont, Garnett Road and Victory) and Jubilee Christian Center in Okmulgee.

He taught Sunday school, drove a bus to bring kids to church, helped with construction projects at Camp Victory in Mannford, served on prayer teams, was a close friend to pastors and a supporter of ministries like Filling The Void and World Prayer Band.

Glen always enjoyed the outdoors, spending time on his parents' farm near Okemah, going fishing with friends like Richard Cookson, working with his hands, eating sweets, firing up the charcoal grill for his family and going on drives. He once landed a 15-lb northern pike in MN.

He also had a fondness for big rigs. He often waved to semi-truck drivers, was curious about what they were hauling, and wanted to get behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler himself. Thanks to Tulsa Tech, his wish came true in March 2024.

Glen Swan was also a Veteran. He was a proud Navy man, serving in the SeaBees where he spent a considerable portion of his enlistment in Sicily. He also studied drafting at OSU’s Okmulgee Tech and graduated from Pharaoh High School in 1965.

God blessed Glen’s life with the greater gifts of quietness, stillness, peace and contentment. They were some of his earthly rewards for all of his tireless labor and hard work. He was soft-spoken by nature, a man of few but powerful words such as “always pray for your family.”

He was preceded in death by his parents Delmar and Gladys and is survived by his wife, children, grandchildren and his sister Barbara and her three children.

A time to celebrate the impact of Glen’s life will be held on Saturday, August, 23, at 11 a.m. at Rogers Funeral Home in Henryetta. Pastor Dale Litsey is officiating.

A private graveside ceremony for his family will follow the memorial service.

In lieu of flowers, please make a gift in Glen’s honor to Filling The Void which cares for the homeless and needy in Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, Florida and Iowa. You can give online at www.fillingthevoid.com or send a check to Filling The Void, PO Box 1134, Broken Arrow, OK, 74013.

Charles Tommy “THOM” Ruth came into this world in Henryetta, Oklahoma, on April 11, 1950, and sadly left us on August 10, 2025.
Thom was preceded in death by his father, Charlie Ruth; his mother, Vivian-Thompson-Ruth-McMorris; his sister, Karen Sue Ruth; his brother, Ricky Ruth; his son, Ryan Ruth; his sister-in-law, Michele Rae Powers; his precious grandmother, Donnie Thompson; his precious aunt, Virginia (Ginny) Miller; and his special cousin, Sandy Lejune.
His surviving family includes his wife, Rochelle, of 47 years; his son, Colby Ruth; his brothers, Barry, Ronnie, and Kirk Ruth, and their families; and Thom’s many other family members and special friends.
Thom graduated from Henryetta High School in 1968, then enlisted in the United States Air Force — convincing a few of his friends to join with him. He ended his six years of military service with the rank of Staff Sergeant, serving in Taipei, Taiwan, and in Vietnam.
Upon returning home, Thom worked at the glass plant before starting the job he enjoyed most — working at Charlie Ruth Ford Inc. for 27 years. If you were ever fortunate enough to go on a test drive with Thom, you either loved it… or kissed the ground when you got out of the car. He won many awards and trips for his outstanding performance as a sales representative in his district.
Thom owned and operated Rocky’s for 40 years, Rochelle Ruth Properties Inc., and the Taco Mayo in Henryetta. During that time, he returned to Charlie Ruth Ford and Charlie Ruth Oil Co. to help his dad, and also took on the Weleetka Shell station and the Fountainhead Shell station — adding them to his workload until his health no longer allowed him to continue.
Although ill, Thom still laughed and continued to have fun and enjoy life to the fullest. I know he would want to thank you if you helped him in any way.
Thom was blessed with an outstanding personality that allowed him to have fun almost every day. He was fun to watch — especially when he was peeling out, even on Main Street. He just loved having fun in his cars. He was definitely one of a kind.

Funeral service will be 2:00 pm, Friday, August 15, 2025 at the Nazarene Church with Rev. Lowell Churchill, officiating. Interment will follow at the Westlawn Cemetery with Military Honors provided by the US Air Force. Services are under the direction of the Rogers Funeral Home.
