She was born June 8th, 1953, in Columbus, Ohio, to the late Ruby and Nathaniel Walker. She departed this life on Friday, September 29th, 2023.
Anyone who knew Ruby Jean will remember her as a strong and determined woman. Her hard-working values were instilled in her by her parents. Her smile and laugh were contagious and could bring light to any room she entered. She was a devoted mother and loving grandmother.
