Ruby Alice Reynolds

Ruby Alice Reynolds, 80, of Lubbock, TX, went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on March 11, 2026.

Ruby was born to Ellis Charles and Olga Mae Reynolds on April 3, 1945, in Corsicana, TX. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brothers, Ronald Reynolds and Wesley Reynolds. She is survived by her sister, Sarah (Bill) of Lubbock, TX; her brother, Ellis (Carolyn) Reynolds of Searcy, AR; Rebecca Reynolds of Weatherford, TX; and her dear childhood friend, Dorothy Kelley of Nacogdoches, TX. Ruby is also remembered fondly by many beloved nieces and nephews.

Ruby spent most of her life in Nacogdoches, TX, where she owned and operated Talk of the Country Hair Salon for over 40 years. The salon grew into more than just a business; it became a place where many friendships were formed and where laughter and tears were freely shared. Ruby was a devoted member of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Nacogdoches. She founded the WD-40 (Women Divorced and Widowed over 40) group, through which she ministered to and supported other women. The group met faithfully for 15 years, providing friendship, encouragement, and fellowship to many in the community.

In recognition of her years of service and dedication to others, February 1, 2018, was officially declared "Ruby Reynolds Day" in Nacogdoches. Ruby earned the admiration and affection of many residents who were proud to call her their neighbor and friend. She was known for her servant's heart, her deep faith in the Lord, and her remarkable ability to make others feel loved, welcomed, and never alone. Her kindness, faith, and joyful spirit touched countless lives and will be cherished by all who knew and loved her.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Hospice of the South Plains, 4413 82nd ST., Suite 135, Lubbock, TX 79424.

"Well done, good and faithful servant." Matthew 25:23

Aunt Ruby.... You were such a special lady. You gave my children each their first haircuts and always made the best pecan pie! You will be dearly missed but in a much better place!

Ruby was the most caring and loving friend that has helped me through some ruff times in my life. She was always there to listen and not judge. I will always remember our talks and tears we shared. You will forever by missed but never forgotten. God speed and I love you
