Rubye was a very loving and caring person. She loved her family and had many friends. She never had any of her own children but thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the children of family members and friends. She was confidante for many people and the neighborhood kids just loved spending time with her.
She was also very fun loving, athletic and really enjoyed fishing, bowling and going to the beach. She also enjoyed Scrabble and doing crosswords and was really good at both. She loved dressing well and putting her best foot forward. Her hair and nails were almost always perfect. She loved shopping and eating out. She was on a first-name basis and became friends with many of the waitresses in the restaurants she frequented.
Her life was full and well-lived. She will be truly missed by so many.
