Ruby E. Conway

Ruby E. Conway, age 90, passed away peacefully on December 28, 2025. Ruby was the beloved wife and best friend of the late Dr. Victor Conway for 41 wonderful years; a loving mother of Bari Beckett and Marcie (the late Robert) Venturini; and a cherished "Nana" to Hayley (Bob) Baumann, Allie Ticktin, Justin (Jessica) Venturini, and Taylor (Dan Russell) Venturini. She was a much-loved great-grandmother to James and Asher Baumann, and Makayla and Mason Venturini. Ruby was also a devoted sister, aunt, great-aunt, and a dear friend to many. Fiercely independent, she was still driving well into her 80s and never missed her weekly hair and nail appointments. Ruby and Dr. Conway lived life to the fullest-enjoying dinners out, movie nights with friends, and traveling together whenever possible. She especially enjoyed a good game of Mah Jongg with her friends. A devoted and loving mother, family meant everything to Ruby. There was nothing she cherished more than becoming a grandmother. She was a dedicated member of Hadassah and remained actively involved in charitable work and giving back to her community throughout her life. Ruby will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Memorial donations may be made to Hadassah at www.hadassah.org.
