Aunt Ruby, as she was affectionately called, enjoyed crocheting, writing beautiful poetry, and had quite a sense of humor. Important to note, though, was her stellar hospitality, love for traveling and her undying love for her Heavenly Father.

In addition, not only has she left grand and great-grand nieces and nephews behind but also her beloved Maranatha Gospel Hall family of 70 years!!!
