Ruby Hume Kidd

KIDD, Ruby Hume, 87, went to be with the Lord, December 29, 2020. She was preceded in death by her loving and devoted husband of 70 years, James Harvey Kidd; her parents, Alexander and Laura Hume; a sister, Frances Hall; and a brother, William Hume. Ruby is survived by her sons, Jimmy (Cathy), Larry (Karen) and Ricky (Patricia); a sister, Joyce Knowles; seven grandchildren, Kelly, Michael, Michelle, Jesse, Jacob, Hannah and Joel; nine great-grandchildren and many caring friends. Ruby worked at Mechanicsville Medical Center for 30 years. She was a lifetime member of Leigh Street Baptist Church, where she taught Sunday school for over 45 years. Ruby was the backbone of the Kidd family. Her standards, morals, values, leadership, character, faith and love will live on forever in all of us. She was a loving, generous, appreciative special woman of God and she will be greatly missed. A special thank you to her devoted granddaughter, Michelle Withers, and her husband, Lee; and her great-grandchildren, Emilee and Abbie, who cared for her for nine years and brought so much love and joy to her life. You leave us inspired by your strength and fighting spirit. "You fought a good fight; you finished the race. Your crown of righteousness awaits." A private memorial service will be held at a later date.
