I was honored to serve Ruby as one of her financial advisors. She was intelligent and always interesting. She loved the volunteering she did for the hospital, and occasionally would drop by our office in her volunteer uniform on her way home. Sandra Welborn

Ruby was a long time friend of mine. She lived not far from my condo, and I missed her after she had to leave her home. We had some fun times together over the years. I am so sorry I was not able to attend the service. I appreciate the call about her passing. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Ernestine Wade, Franklin, TN
