Ruby Lamb Obituary
Ruby was a caretaker and homemaker all her life. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and she always looked forward to going back home to Virginia and Tennessee in the summers for the family reunions. The kindness you could feel from Ruby would flood your mind, heart and soul. No one person could ever feel unloved when in her presence. The love she had for everyone was unmeasurable. She also most recently renewed her relationship with Jesus. The family would like to thank Deacon Curtis Lawson for getting her through her most challenging times this past year and making her at peace with leaving the beautiful life and family she made behind.
Ruby was predeceased by her infant son, Kevin Eugene Lamb, her husband Paul Lee Lamb, Sr., her parents and siblings Kizzie, Dorothy and Clyde.

Grandma, I miss you beyond belief. You and pop pop really touched a lot of souls for the time that feels not long enough you had on earth. It´s been a year and not much has changed when it comes to our feelings. They say it gets easier, but I feel that´s not true. I feel like each day that passes it hurts more not seeing you. Although we know you´re in a better place it doesn´t change how much we wish we had more time with you. Holidays just don´t feel the same anymore, without walking in and seeing you making food early and feeling the love as soon as you walk in. I hope you´re doing well, and I hope you and pop pop are up there happy and arguing about what food to cook for dinner. Those little things I miss so much. I miss the unconditional love you´d always show me and everyone else. I love you so much and that will never change.
-You´re favorite grandchild. Kylee
(That´s what the picture was of, Paul and I arguing who was the favorite back and fourth)
