Ruby Vernice Benson (Hammond) Born June 2, 1925, the oldest daughter of Titus (Coy) McCoy Hammond and Florence Hammond, passed peacefully in her sleep on February 18, 2016, at 90 years young. She was preceded in death by her parents, two sisters, Helen and Vivian, and her husband of 55 years, James. She is survived by her sister, Wanda Sue (James) Pennington; her son, Joe (Peggy) Benson; several nieces and nephews; her grandchildren, Michael (Dena) Benson, Kristine (Arland) Souza and Shannan (Ed) Matthews; and her great grandchildren, Christopher, Marissa and Tucker.
