So sorry to hear of Ruby´s passing. She has been a friend to me & my family for many years. Ruby & my mom,Gene Hocott , were founding members of Vache Grasse & two of the first women to play golf in Greenwood. They played numerous tournaments together & won many trophies. Ruby helped mom teach me the game which I have played & loved for many years. She will be greatly missed and although she hasn´t been on the golf course for several years she will always be remembered there as one of the best women golfers in the area.

I am so very sad to see we have lost such a sweet and wonderful lady. I have known Ruby through playing golf with her for so many years, even before we moved to Greenwood. She will be dearly missed! May she be welcomed with open arms into Heaven. May God bless and comfort all her family.
