With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Ruby Deloris Fairley, who departed this world on December 23, 2025, just four days shy of her 69th birthday. Born on December 27, 1956, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Ruby brought warmth, joy, and a nurturing spirit to everyone she encountered. She was devoted her life to her family and to her work.
Ruby is survived by her beloved daughters, Tamika and Andra, who will carry forward her legacy of love and resilience. Her life was a testament to deep compassion and the power of family, and she will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege to know her.
In this time of sorrow, may we all find solace in the cherished memories of Ruby and the enduring love she shared with her family and friends.
