Ruby was a wonderful, kind lady who I had the pleasure of working with at First Federal. She always stood up for friends and fellow workers when they were in the right, no matter what. She was a believer of always telling the truth no matter what the consequences. Ruby was always fun to be around and brightened our days. God Bless You Ruby!

Ruby was my boss at First Federal and she was the best boss. She always took care of " her girls". She would take us out for our yearly evaluation to anywhere we wanted to go and pay for it out of her own pocket. She would also take us, our spouse and children out for Christmas Eve breakfast at K&W and pay for our breakfast and bought everyone, spouse and children included Christmas present out of her pocket as well. I know she is happy to be reunited with Wacky and Sherry. Rest in peace, sweet lady.

Ruby was one of the kindest, most hilarious people I have ever known. I had the pleasure of working with her as my branch manager at the Crossroads location of First Federal Savings and Loan. This was my first full time job, and I loved working for Ruby and with Donna, Jeannie, Holly and Shelia. Wacky used to come in quite often so we all got to know him very well too. Ruby treated her customers and staff like family. She knew everyone by name, having grown up in the area and living of Williamson Rd. Ruby made such an impression on me, and I am a better person for having learned from her. My condolences to Shari and any other family. Bless you all. Fondly, Carol Sittler Furry

I am so sorry to read about Ruby's death. She and I worked together at First Federal and had stayed in contact over the years. I know she is better off and she is reunited with Whacky and Sherri.
