Ruby Nell Lowe Morgan, age 95, of Shelbyville, passed peacefully from this life on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, at Lynchburg Nursing Center.
Mrs. Ruby was a lifelong resident of Bedford County, born on July 20, 1929, as the youngest of three children to the late Olin C. and Jessie Crutchfield Lowe. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gentry Morgan; her sister, Pauline Winchester; and her brother, Lester Lowe.
She graduated from Bell Buckle High School in the Class of 1948 and married Gentry Morgan on November 11, 1951. Ruby dedicated 40 years of service to First National Bank before continuing her career at Howell Lawrence Funeral Home. Later, she served as secretary at Southside Church of Christ until the age of 87, where she was also an active and devoted member.
In her free time, Ruby was an avid game enthusiast, especially enjoying Dominoes and Rummikub, which she often played with family and friends.
Mrs. Ruby is survived by her loving daughters, Connie (John) Boutwell and Lisa Coop; her cherished grandchildren, John Amos Boutwell, Spenser (Sophie) Coop, Everett (Kirstie) Boutwell, and Claire (Josh) Coop-Parsley; and one treasured great-grandchild, Morgan Boutwell.
