Ruby was a very special lady who touched the lives of many people! She loved her family beyond words and there was nothing she wouldn't do for those she loved. She was loving, honest and kind. She knew the true meaning of loyalty and she exhibited that daily regarding her family and friends. She had a beautiful smile and twinkling blue eyes that made you wonder just what she was thinking! Her sense of humor was delightful and disarming. There will never be another Ruby! We will miss her.
