Ruby was a great friend to my grandparents, whom I spend much time with growing up. Ruby would come by their house, or we would see her out in Etowah, or Sunday service at FBC. Ruby always remembered my birthday, or got me a Christmas card, many of letters of encouragement/congratulations came from her.

Ruby was a dear friend. My life has been blessed to call her my friend and to work with her at church for so many years. The family will be in my prayers.

What a wonderful lady Ruby was. I recall the ice storm of '81, coming home from Chatt and White Oak Mtn on I-79 was completely iced and traffic was at a standstill and the interstate closed. I continued inching toward Etowah through scattered cars, when I recognized Ruby alone in her car. We got hers onto the shoulder. Not really sure if she trusted me, but she finally got into my car and clutching her purse the whole way, we safely made our way home, weaving through all the stranded vehicles. One really great lady!
