Ruby Estes Obituary

Ruby C. Estes

Greenville, SC

Ruby Carlton Estes, beloved wife, mother and grandmother, died on Wednesday, October 16, 20913.

She was 86 years old, and is predeceased by her husband, Joseph O. Estes, and a daughter, Amy Jo Estes. Surviving are a daughter, Lyn Estes and a grandson, Joe Estes. A special thank you to the many friends she made at NHC of Mauldin during the past year. Their care and kindness have meant so much.

Ruby was an exuberant person with unlimited interests, and she loved and enjoyed her life. She made the most of her time here, and was always ready with a helping hand for anyone in need. Her heart belonged to her family and many animals, and memorials may be made to the Greenville Animal Care Shelter, 328 Furman Hall Road, Greenville, SC 29609.

Words are never enough…She was deeply loved and will be missed.
