Becky, Brenda and families, I very much regret to hear that Ruby has passed this life and pray that you will find help through our Lord to find the healing you need.
Thinking back, I have probably not seen Ruby for well over fifty years. I remember her as a sweet and helpful cousin who always wore a smile.
Ruby father, Asa Ward Nixon was probably my father's favorite brother. They were very much alike in temperament and kindness.
May God bless you.

Becky, Brenda and families,
I was so sorry to hear of Ruby's passing. She was one of my most favorite of my mother's sisters. She will be sorely missed by all of us. She wrote me such a nice letter when I retired. It was greatly appreciated! She always showed me love and I will treasure that. May God bless you and yours in this time of personal loss.
