Aunt Marcie called me this AM and informed me of Ruby's passing. I'm so sorry. She battled a long time, she has earned her rest. Ruby makes heaven a better place. I miss visiting Estill and the fond memories I hold in my heart. Ruby called me once a week during Karen's illness to check on her. May God's cloak of pease and love be with you all during this time. bless you all to check on her

To all of you ....Ruby loved and talked about you all of the time...you were her children and her heart. We were fortunate enough to grow up living three doors apart...what a wonderful childhood we experienced...our parents were awesome, because they let us "slide" many times.

April 17, 2014

Ruby will be missed. She was a dear friend from the time we met at North Trenholm and when we both moved to Spring Valley. Ruby had such a natural wit and charm. She loved her family dearly and was so proud of each of you. Hannah, you were like her own daughter, and I can tell you that she was so proud of all of your accomplishments. Ruby fought a good fight, but in the end, she was ready to let go and go to be with the Lord she so dearly loved.

On behalf of all of us at the Center for Inquiry, I would like to say how much we will miss Ruby's spirit and wit. We appreciate how much time and energy she gave to us.

Jane, We have thought about you and your entire family this week. We all have such fun memories of Aunt Ruby. All of us called her that. She was a faithful person in every way: to God, to her family, and to her friends. This has been a long journey for her and all of you. This world will miss her, but I can hear her saying something like: "I am glad to be out of there!" She had such a wit,always very original.
Jane, I have to tell you that I went to the funeral of a dear lady on Monday. Our minister of music sang, The King is Coming. He has a lovely tenor voice, but I could hear you singing it in such a powerful way that I wished you were here.
You, Craig, and your sisters have been so faithful to Ruby. She loved all of you dearly. We still miss all of you.
Beulah, Wendell, Katherine Turner,and Kevin
