Ruby enjoyed being with her husband every second of every day whom she got to spend 47 wonderful years with. Her heart was full when she was surrounded by her kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. One of her favorite activities was starting her Christmas shopping December 26th and Christmas shopping all year long, she loved gift giving. She also loved scoring a good deal while shopping, if it wasn’t on clearance she wouldn’t buy it, a great sale made her entire day! Ruby also enjoyed a good cookout in the summer time, surrounded by her family splashing in her pool. She’d come walking out with an arm full of popsicles and ice cream for all the grandkids and great-grandkids, she loved spoiling them! She was a giver and loved so deeply.
There will be an ever-lasting hole in our hearts that can never be filled and we will love her forever and a day!
