Ruby was a lovely lady, full of grace who showed her love to so many. She always made me feel so very welcomed when we all would get together at the family reunions. She will be missed. I know she adored her family. Love and prayers to all the family.

I remember Miss Ruby as a welcoming, jovial, sophiscated yet down to earth example of a true lady of grace. She was very talented and had a gift for gardening. I have very fond memories of the time that she was a part of my life. I have a gift from her that I treasure to this day. A wonderful scrapbook of memories from a huge milestone in my life. But I am most grateful for being blessed by knowing her, experiencing her kindness and grace and eating at her table sharing the delicious meals she prepared for her family with love.
