Ruby Warner Obituary

Ruby Warner, 96 of St. Joseph, Mo. peacefully passed away surrounded by family at her home on October 13, 2024; Ruby was the seventh of 9 children born to Carl and Elsie Stuart. She graduated from Rosendale High School before marrying John Warner in 1949. He preceded her in death in 1978, along with all of her siblings, her grandson Eric Christgen and son-in-laws William Healy and Jerry Ham. Ruby had fourchildren, Dixie Ham, Vicki Christgen (Ed), Larry Warner and Janette Healy. Eleven grandchildren: Jason Ham (Cydney), Douglas Ham (Kristen), Dustin Ham (Miranda), Victoria Christgen, Tate Christgen (Lauren), Chris Christgen (Tammy), Brian Christgen, Katie Warner, Savannah Healy, Brianna Roppoli (Kevin), Emerson Healy and 13 great grandchildren. Ruby's entire life was based on family. First with her Mother, Father and her 8 siblings. They were a very close, loving family for all of their lives. Ruby was always the happiest with a child running around her while she cooked. She absolutely loved cooking, especially big family meals. Her biggest smiles were being with her family with a baby on her lap. She beamed when she was with her grand and great grandchildren. When Ruby was 90 she moved to Country Squire and immediately started making friends and mischief. It was a wonderful, loving environment with a wonderful staff and loving friends. She had many challenging health conditions and the residents and the staff helped her face them with love and assistance. Her family especially wants to thank the Country Squire staff, Mark, Marisa, Velvet, Jace, Cassie and all the loving employees who offered a helping hand, kindness and love. Also we want to thank all the Freudenthal Ladies, Jennifer E, Donna, Trina, Lisa and Tina for their many hours of service and love. We also are so thankful for the love and service Tammy, our private caregiver, gave her day and night. Freudenthal Hospice was the wonderful professionals that were there for her hardest times until the end. Thank you so much Barbara, Sophia, Karen, Stephanie, Jaz and all of the caring associates for your love and wonderful care. Ruby requested that there would be no services. Arrangements by Heaton-Bowman-Smith & Sidenfaden Chapel. Please just remember her smile, mischief and love. She is smiling down on us now.

Ruby was a very wonderful lady full of laughter and smiled and she will always hold a deer place in my heart she may be gone but she will never be forgotten. I want to thank the family for around to get to know her on a personal level and being a part of her life.
