Ruby ANDERSON Obituary

ANDERSON, Ruby Grace

Age 66, of Dayton, Ohio, passed away October 13, 2021; peacefully, comfortably, and surrounded by her family in Wichita Falls, Texas.

Ruby served in the United States Air Force until retirement. As a very fit and active lover of nature, Ruby could

always be found outside;

hiking, biking or just basking in the sun rays during a walk. She loved flowers, traveling, and was an avid reader. But above all, she was an eternal optimist that spread her positive vibes wherever she went and to whomever she encountered. Ruby is survived by her two daughters, four grandchildren, and seven siblings. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Hospice of Wichita Falls, American Cancer Society, or First Step of Wichita Falls.

My Golden friend I´ve known her for 40 plus years. Such a wise loving person. I will miss her forever. Met her at WPAFB gym, we ran several mornings a week and many 5K runs. I will always remember her saying, "Don´t let anyone rob you of your power". I am sorry for your loss, she will be greatly missed.

I´m so lucky to have a Book with lots of sayings and comments from my special friend, Ruby. Our Tuesday lunches were just not the same without her. I will truly miss her.

So sorry to hear of her passing. I cannot smile because it happened. I will miss her and her smile and her words of encouragement. We used to talk in the gym at WPAFB in the morning and I always enjoyed seeing her. May the LORD give her loved ones peace that passes all understanding that only He can. God bless you and comfort you.
