Mother Ruby L. Williams was a woman of strength, which allowed her the courage to be vulnerable when necessary. She was stern - simply no nonsense, but not without being full of compassion and grace. And she was steadfast in her faith regardless of how bleak situations appeared. She was a light. Thank God for the light.

After many years living with kidney disease and on dialysis, Ruby´s body was able to enter eternal rest. Ruby spent her entire life preparing for a life in Heaven. She was a good friend and Her faith in God helped her navigate through all of life´s challenges, and her faith never faltered. She had many names on her never-ending prayer list. Ruby was adored and cherished by her family and friends and will be deeply missed.

I didn't know Ms. Ruby personally, I would just see her at dialysis, and I admired how everyone had a great respect for her, and how her family would walk her in, and made sure she was all settled before leaving her. She always seems so gracious. The way she dressed and walked. I gave her a box of candy for Christmas and she seemed so excited to receive it. I always looked for her even though we did say anything to each other. I looked for on Thursday and she never came, and just as my treatment was ending I over her the nurses say that she had passed. My heart sank. I am so sorry for your loss, and my prayer is that God will comfort you in a way that only he can.
