I worked for years with Ruby's son Fred. Ruby was a wonderful woman who treated everyone she met like they were her family. I am proud and honored to have known such an inspirational woman. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Ruby was a wonderful friend to me. I met Ruby when Fred and I started college. From the very beginning, she treated me just like family and I will always love her for that. Through good times and bad, I could always depend on her love and support. I will miss her very much.
