Ruby Belle Mosher

Ruby Belle Hageman Mosher was born July 20, 1928, in Stockton, Kansas to Edward C. VI and Jesse Rae Maris Hageman. She passed away at the age of 96, at Redbud Village in Plainville on August 26, 2024.
Ruby graduated from Stockton High School with the Class of 1946. On October 19, 1947, she married Gail Arven Mosher at the Methodist Church in Stockton. Ruby & Gail moved to Kansas City after marriage while Gail attended mortuary school. They then returned to Plainville, where Gail eventually joined in business with his father, R.A., to operate Mosher's Inc., which consisted of a hardware store in downtown Plainville and a funeral business. When R.A. and his wife retired, the hardware store was liquidated and Gail & Ruby together operated Mosher Funeral Home, and Wheatland Vault Co. Ruby & Gail traveled extensively, attending conventions and other business-related ventures. Highlighted personal trip locations included the Middle East and Australia.
Through the years, three children joined the family – Nancy Ann, David Arven and Michelle Rae "Shelly". David passed away in January of 1976, and Gail passed in March of 2005. She was also preceded in death by her siblings, E. Charles Hageman VII and Joanna Johnson.
Ruby was a good housekeeper, and a wonderful cook for her family. She enjoyed gardening, needlework and reading, and was an avid collector of numerous items. She loved clothes and fashion, and all things sparkly, and was known to have color-matched shoes for every single outfit she owned. Decorating her home was another passion. She loved movies, which created another favorite hobby, recording them from TV so she could watch them again and again. In her later years, when her eyesight failed her, she would play soothing music on her TV all day long.
She was a member of the Plainville United Methodist Church, Plainville VFW Auxiliary, RCHC Auxiliary, Eastern Star and Chapter HB of PEO.
Ruby is survived by her daughters, Nancy Clopton and husband Jim of Lubbock, Tx and Michelle "Shelly" Haas and her husband Danny of Plainville; 4 grandchildren, Sarah Clopton of Plano, Tx, Jeff Clopton of Lubbock, Jennifer Vohs of Kirwin and Katie Hunziker of Plainville; two step-grandchildren, Clayton Haas and Angela Calvin; 21 great-grandchildren; and 3 great-great grandchildren.
