Ruby was a Strong lady who has carried herself through many obstacles and hardships in life. Ruby married at the early age of 15, having her first son at 16 followed by five more children by the age of 25. She considered her children the greatest blessing in her life. Ruby worked as a waitress at Sherrill's bakery in Washington DC for many years. Followed by Reagan and Mason and retired from Wiley Rein & Fielding.

She loved God and her Catholic faith. She always said that God was always with her helping her through life. She was patriotic and loved her country.

Dancing would be a close second. May she forever rest in Heaven's peace dancing on streets of gold…
