Ruby Perry Obituary

Ruby E. Younger Willis Perry

Ruby, 90, of Phoenix passed away on June 27, 2012. Born in Bedford, Indiana, she moved to Arizona in 1953. Her greatest joy was her family. She enjoyed bowling, playing cards, the Phoenix SUNS, cooking (and eating!), as well as visiting with nearly everyone. She was preceded in death by her parents John & Debbie Younger, husband Donald Willis, second husband Francis Perry and 8 siblings. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her, especially her niece, Patricia Goodrich whom she dearly loved and raised as her own from childhood. Memorial contributions may be made to your favorite charity in Ruby's name.
