I worked with Ruby for many years when she was at Pet Dairy in Hampton, VA. and I was in Portsmouth. Ruby was great to work with as she expected perfection. I know she kept me in line. Ruby, rest in peace.

I will miss Mrs. Cobb very much. She was a special lady with a wonderful sense of humor. We moved next door to them over 45 years ago and remained friends with the whole family. On their many trips back to Roanoke Rapids, they always took one of us with them. We were practically one family. I'll remember those special times as the best part of my childhood and I'll never forget her calling, "JUN-YOOOR" to come in to the house for the best down-home cooking you ever ate. My deepest condolences to the entire Allen-Cobb family. Sincerely,

Grandma,
I remember when I was a freshman in High School, I was at my JV Baseball game and I had just taken my position at 3rd Base and I was waiting to field a ground ball. I remember I looked up into the stands and I saw you about to take your seat, my eyes lit up because I never saw you at one of my games before, it made me so excited that I knew I had to do well that game, I wanted to make you as proud of me watching me play as I was that you came to watch me play. I know I told you thanks for coming at the the game, but what I didn't do was tell you how much it meant to me that you came. It meant the world to me!!! Thanks again for coming. I love you and miss you with all my heart and just know this is not a goodbye, but I will see you later.

I was so, so sorry to read of Ruby's passing in the paper. What a lovely picture of her! She was a real trooper with her therapy and was always willing to "try". Please know my prayers are with you all.

To Joe and the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, Robby and I send our deepest sympathy. We have such wonderful memories of our Dad Lauren Yoder working together with both Joe and Ruby at Hampton Heights Dairy, and us as kids helping out at times. She was always fun to work with and caring as well.
As we have lost our mom and dad now, we understand the loss you are now going through. How wonderful that Ruby had such dedicated love and care in her last years. I remember when Joe brought her to our mom's house to get Concord grapes just a few years ago. Blessings to all of you.
Susan and Robby Ackerman, for all the Yoder family

A very speial lady with a strong will and loving heart.Though I only knew you for over 3 years as a caregiver and neighbor I quickly learned to love you like a mom. Family was her.Though she did wish she could see them more often.As for Joe he treated her like a queen she was and kept his word. Miss Ruby loved him more than anything! Now at peace and not suffering,she walks with Lord and visiting her other family in Heaven. I pray for the family and I'm sincerely here for you.

A Wonderful Lady with a strong will and a loving heart. Though I had not known her for much of her life I learned to love her like a mom as I got to know her over the 3 years plus as a caregiver and neighbor. I do know she wished to see her family more often then she did and more than anything she loved her devoted husband Joe who treated her like a queen.I'll miss you Miss Ruby although now I know you are not suffering and are with God walking in Heaven. May your family be comforted by the Lord.
