To Beth Marie, her family and to all of Aunt Ruby's extended family and friends we extend our heartfelt sympathies.

Aunt Ruby enjoyed a full happy life which she loved to share with all who visited through her stories of her family and long life. Her greatest joy in life has always been her husband and daughter.

She will be greatly missed by those of us who love her.
