I worked with her for a number of years at ACCO-(Anderson Claytion Co) She was truly a marvelous lady. My wife
(Ginny & I) tried to get in touch with her this past Christmas, but could not locate her. We were notified of her death this morning as I had to take a soninlaw to a daycare center, and was not able to attend the funeral services. She will truly be missed by many as she was such a special lady. To my knowledge I never heard any negeative words about her, it was always the positive. We will meet again in Heaven. Larry if you read these comments, please get in touch with us.

I knew Ruby from the time I was 3 months old. She and my mother were best friends for years. After Daddy died, when Momma was so lonely and distraught, Ruby would call her several times a day to check on her. Most memorable were her nightly calls to "tuck" Momma into bed. That was Ruby-devoted, supportive, loving, selfless and the hands and feet of Christ. She was family to us. We are all better for having known Ruby. God bless you all!

"Miss Ruby" has been a true and precious blessing in our lives. Her spirit, sense of humor and southern charm will always be in our hearts. We especially treasure her reference to "suppa"(supper) and her absolute devotion to her faith and church. Heaven surely added an angel and saint when Miss Ruby entered the gate. We miss you now and will miss and love you forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and we thank you for including us so often. Love, Paula and Tim Church
