Ruby Martin

Mom and I would always talk over the phone on New Year's Day as we watched the Rose Parade together, her in Battle Ground and I in Pasadena. She always loved the Rose Parade and she always wanted to know what was happening and how was the weather. We would talk for hours on the phone talking about everything and anything.

My dad - Bill Silva - knew Ruby (and Earl too) from the Cascade Mariners and always spoke well of the work she did for the group. I am so sorry to see one more of that small group leave and hope there is someone to ring the bell that final time to mark Ruby's passing.
For Ruby's family, I am so sorry for your loss.

I had the privilege of meeting Earl and Ruby through my sister, who was Ruby's beautician for years. I so enjoyed visiting with her when I would go to clean. She was so wise and insightful, and I loved to hear her laugh. She had the best candy out in the most beautiful crystal candy dishes, chocolate covered peanut clusters! Loved them! She taught me to liven up food by not being afraid to try different spices! I will miss her greatly.
Sincerely,

Mary Hylton and family
