Ruby Myles Obituary
1943-2018
Our mother, Ruby Myles, was born to Jason and Doll Martin Myles on June 6, 1943. She spoke her mind, enjoyed the blues, her cigarettes, loved Coca-Cola, and her daughter's gumbo. She taught us to believe in ourselves, never give up, go to church, serve God, and remember "we all we got."
Our mother did not leave us money, houses, land, or fame. She left us the most precious gift of all: her unconditional ride or die love.
Our mother leaves to cherish her memory, her daughter Debra Davis (Tommy), her son Kenneth Levingston (Shanda), three granddaughters, Alicia (Jonathan), Brittany, and Ke'Andra, and eight great-grandchildren. To God be the Glory for the things He has done!

I have not been able to leave a message on your page all of this time. I love you so much momma and I miss you even more. Debra and I have keep a few plants alive that you cared for and this gives us some sense of connection to you and one another. It's hard and I guess it always will be until we see each others face. I am going to drop a note to Elton, tell him to look for it. Until we see each other again.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences to the Myles family and friends for the passing of your dear loved one. Losing a loved one in death is never easy. One day many will have the opportunity to live again. May the hope of everlasting life sustain and comfort you during this difficult time (John 17:3). When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure in your heart and it lives forever. May the wonderful treasures fill your hearts with love and bring you peace.
