Ruby met Elmer "Mac" one weekend when he was on leave from Ft. Bragg with a friend Neil Cannon from Stanley. He walked up on her porch and after seeing her, he asked her for a date. Two weeks later, he proposed to her.

Ruby married Elmer McFall on April 12, 1942. They were married 55 years. She was the love of "Macs" life. Mac spent 22 years in the US Army and was a career officer. She traveled extensively with him and visited such places as Germany, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Italy, England, and Holland. They lived from the East coast to the West Coast. They lived a wonderful, blessed Christian life.

She was beloved mother to Susan E. McFall and son-in-law, Bob Absher and Kaye M. Huffstetler and son-in-law, Michael C. Huffstetler.
