Ruby Jean Williams, 93, of Neosho, Missouri, passed away peacefully on September 14, 2025 at Seneca House in Seneca, Missouri.

She was born on August 11, 1932, in El Dorado Springs, Missouri, to Clifford and Viola (Vittetoe) Maslen. Ruby was married to Joe Williams, who preceded her in death.

Ruby found joy in life's simple blessings. She enjoyed working in her yard and tending to her flowers. Being loved the outdoors and had a gift for making things grow - both in her garden and in the lives of those around her.

She is lovingly survived by her five children: Shirley Ketcham of Seneca, MO; Sue (Jim) Hobson of Granby, MO; Phyllis (Norman) Barr of Joplin, MO; Steve (Joni) Powers of Webb City, MO; and Diana Powers of Citrus Heights, CA. Ruby was also blessed with 7 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren.

A graveside service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 28, 2025, at Granby Memorial Park Cemetery.

Ruby will be remembered for her deep love of nature, her quiet strength, and the devotion she had to her family. Her legacy blooms in every life she touched.

Services are under the personal care and direction of Clark Funeral Homes.
