Ruth Duran-Regnault

September 1, 1945 - January 5, 2021

Ruth Duran-Regnault passed away on January 5th in West Jordan, Utah at the age of 75 surrounded by family. Ruth was born in New Mexico on September 1st 1945 to Margarito Duran and Geneva Lee. She is survived by her husband Jeff, her children; Toby, Sue, Tina, Danny (Cathy), Cindee (Casey) & Ruthie, eleven grandchildren & seven great-grandchildren. Brother Billy & sisters; Gloria and Maryann. Ruth lived for her family and her heart was always with her children. She enjoyed her getaways to Wendover for a little gambling and would sneak her children and grandchildren shares of her winnings. But, unlike her winnings, Ruth’s chocolate was not for sharing. Ruth would hide what she considered “the good stuff” from everyone to enjoy for herself. Ruth had a passion for birds and could sit and watch them for hours. Many memories of Ruth held by her children were the days she would get lost in a book. They could ask for anything and know the answer was always yes. A memory from her children’s youth was she would give them a jar and send them out to look for little people. Because of that special love and support she had for her family, everyone knew “they were the favorite”. Ruth is preceded in death by her parents and brothers Felix Leroy Duran and Raymond Duran. The family would like to take a moment to give a special Thank You to Cindee and her family. Cindee and her family took Ruth into their home and gave her the best care possible during much needed times for Ruth. We cannot express the gratitude and love we have for the Vigil’s. We could not have done this past year without them. Due to the health risk along with COVID-19, the family has decided to do an intimate family gathering.
