Ruby was very special to me and my family. I remember spending lots of time in her antique shop. We always called her "Grandma Ruby". I remember several times being "adopted" as a daughter for our mother daughter banquet at First Baptist in Louisville. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. I will miss her. God Bless Katie

Ruby was very special to our family during the years she and D.C. lived in Louisville. I remember fondly spending time in her Antique Store and eventually Ruby's Lighting. I also have priceless memories of "cottage prayers meetings" in their home. My prayers are with her family during this time. Sincerely, Nancy (Rapp) Johnstone

During her time here in Louisville while attending First Baptist, she was like an grandmother to me and my siblings. I remember fondly spending time in her Antique Store and eventually Ruby's Lighting. We also held "cottage pray meetings" in their home during the early days of our church. My prayers are with you at this time. Sincerely, Nancy (Rapp) Johnstone
