I worked with Ruby at Blue Bell, Wrangler, Vf for over 30 years. I returned to Canada in 2019 to live with my sister in Barrie, Ontario. Sorry to hear about Ruby's passing. She was a sweet lady and a good friend. My condolences to the family.

Ruby Layton , she was a kind and gentle person who loved her family very much. Always laughing and talking to everyone. We have many good memories of the cookouts and enjoying good times. We will always remember her scooting around on the golf cart. Ruby will be greatly missed by us all.
