Oh there are no words to describe this wonderful woman. She always had a smile and loved her laugh. She was one of the kindest people you would ever meet. But most of all she loved her Lord and her family and then her friends. We will sure miss you May God bless each of you during this time. I am sure Roger will have some candy ready to give her some. She enjoyed those little treats on Sunday mornings

To all of Ruby's children and families,
David and I will miss Ruby and the family gatherings that she and Katie put together every summer. Ruby was a precious lady who made everyone feel welcome. We are saddened of her passing, but are thankful that she is now pain free and rejoicing in Heaven! May God give you all comfort and peace in the days ahead.
We are keeping all of the family in our thoughts and prayers.
