Ruby was my sister-in-law when I was married to Jerry Framke, (Don's) brother. She made us very welcome until Jerry could get a job.

When I was just a little boy from a small town I come to Uncle Don and Aunt Ruby's house in a big city for the first time.I found a pair of roller skates and decided to go for a stroll.I guess I strolled too far and was lost somewhere in Tacoma.I had to ask to use a phone and called Aunt Ruby to come get me.Somehow she knew exactly where I was and said to me "where have you been? when she knew the whole time I was scared to death and she was as calm as could be.I knew she was laughing on the inside because she always knew where I was I'll miss you Aunt Ruby and Love you very much!

Grandma was always so calm in the midst of the insanity that is our family. She had a passel of kids and even more grandkids running around, and she never lost her cool. She just sat in her rocker that grandpa made her and read her romance novels. I will miss you, grandma.

I first met Ruby when I was 16 years old. I was dating her oldest son (Scott). We married & had three children, Sheila, Chris & Jeff. Ruby was always willing to babysit when asked. She was such a joyful person. Always had a smile on her face. I remember when she came to our house to take care of me & my 2 children at the time because I was bedridden with a difficult pregnancy. I thought that was so kind of her to give up her time for us.
I haven't seen her since she left Wa. state but she was never far from my thoughts. She will be truly missed!!!

I met Ruby when I was 16 years old. I was dating her oldest son (Scott) & we later married & had 3 children.
She was such a nice lady. Never a mean bone in her body! She would babysit my kids when ever asked & always with a smile! She also took care of me & 2 of my children when I had to be bedridden with a complicated pregnancy.I haven't been able to see her since she moved from WA. but I always thought of her with happy thoughts.
Ruby I will miss you & love you forever!!!
