I am saddened to hear of Ruby's passing. She was such a great person whom I met through her daughter Karen, my sister-in-law. Although I was a young teenager at the time her humor was something I got right off. Ruby was also very kind to me and I always looked forward to seeing her. You are all in my heart and thoughts. Peace and love to as you cherish the memories of a one of a kind lady. I pray she is with her loved ones watching over her family.

I was so saddened to hear of Ruby`s passing. I know that she is in a happy place, but I will miss my friend. She was my neighbor for many years, and after I moved away, she and I kept in touch and would have coffee together. She enjoyed talking about her children and grandchildren. A wonderful laugh and a pretty smile and I miss her already. Cindy Scott
