Ruby Hammel

She taught ukelele at Butler Elementary School. We did a performance after we had learned several pieces, and she called it a Hootnanny. She was/is an amazing teacher and person.

Ruby was a delight! She is one of my lovely memories of childhood. I still talk about her.

I was lucky enough to play on Senior Tennis teams with Ruby and even flying to Boise for Regionals a couple of times. Mostly it was just many matches in the noisy Old Farm Bubble enjoying her warm personality and competitive spirit.

To know Ruby was to love her!

Ruby was a great mentor when I served the JEA in different capacities. The was always straight forward and honest. Thanks for your help.

What an inspiring life. Ruby truly made a difference in the lives of many. It's been a true blessing to know here these past 20 years at Holladay UCC. She never stopped caring and sharing and always led by example.

Ruby Hammel - A life to celebrate, A loss to mourn, a true gem As the Wrathall family was one of the early members of the HUCC congregation, Ruby was a big part of our lives there. I was in the choir that Ruby and Paul Christensen directed.

We Loved Ruby as a teacher, JEA Pres., Tennis instructor and lifelong Legislative worker. The list is too long to include everything she did but she had a profound influence on me when I was a JEA President, and as a teacher of my children. We love you, Ruby!

My condolences to Ruby´s family. I knew her through tennis at Salt Lake Tennis and Health Club. She always had a smile on her face when I saw her. She was a very giving woman. She will be missed.
