Ruth Lynn (Lueckemeyer) Hollaway, 83, passed away peacefully on September 19, 2026, in Brenham, Texas.
Lynn was born November 15, 1942, in Bryan, Texas, the daughter of Edward and Loraine (Scruggs) Lueckemeyer. Throughout her life, Lynn was known for her independent spirit, love of animals, devotion to her family and church, and passion for horses and dressage.
Lynn was a longtime member of Brenham Church of Christ. She was also a member of the United States Dressage Federation, Alamo Dressage Association, US Equestrian, Texas Realtors Association, and the Independence Historical Society.
A dedicated real estate professional, Lynn worked as a realtor for more than 40 years. Her career included working for Deanie Owens in San Antonio and Realty World in San Antonio before she eventually established and operated her own real estate agency, Legacy Properties, in Brenham.
Lynn was also a competitive dressage rider and enjoyed many successful years competing in the San Antonio and Houston areas. Her love for horses was part of a lifelong affection for animals of all kinds. Over the years, she cared for horses, dogs, cats, chickens, and even turkeys.
Lynn lived in many places during her lifetime, including England, Iran, and Germany, as well as Duluth, Minnesota; Aurora, Colorado; Little Rock, Arkansas; and Alabama. In Texas, she called Brenham, Clay, Independence, College Station, and San Antonio home.
Lynn is survived by her son, Robert Charles Hicks of Hull, Texas; her daughter, Cary Lynn Mohr of San Antonio; grandchildren Madison Inman and her husband, Jacob, and Heather Burns and her husband, Cole; and great-grandchildren Walt Burns, Daniella Inman, and Delilah Inman.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Jerry Hollaway.
