Ruby was known for her Love of Jesus and being a strong woman of faith. Ruby was a member of the Bible Fellowship Church. Ruby spent her life as a homemaker and was blessed to be able to raise 5 children.

Ruby enjoyed cooking, babysitting her grandchildren, and doing word searches and jigsaw puzzles with them. She often would cook for church luncheons and was known for her cooking because she made everything from scratch.
