RUBY L. KING

Ruby L. King, a radiant spirit and beloved mother, was born on May 4, 1927, in the quaint town of New Summerfield, Texas. A high school graduate of Fredrick Douglas in Jacksonville, Texas, Ruby embraced life with an infectious zest. She cultivated a career as an Administrative Assistant at New Mexico Bank, where her vibrant personality left an indelible mark.

Ruby's warmth and vivacity inspired all who knew her. Described by her daughter, Velma Desha, as a carefree person who adored having a good time, Ruby was the life of every gathering. Memories of her dance moves linger fondly in the hearts of her family, evoking smiles and nostalgia. It was not just her dance that captivated those around her; it was also the love and dedication she infused into her cooking. Her peach cobbler and apple pie were legendary; in the eyes of Velma, no one could match her culinary artistry.

As the sun set on February 5, 2025, Ruby left this world in Dallas, Texas, yet her spirit continues to dance in the hearts of her loved ones. Ruby is survived by her cherished daughter Velma Desha and a host of other relatives and friends who will carry forward her legacy of joy and laughter.
