Born in MacLean Cove, she was a daughter of the late Haverstock and Jessie (Evans) MacLean.
Ruby graduated from Nova Scotia Normal College in 1958 and taught in Hillsborough, North East Margaree, and Margaree Harbour over a 7-year period.
She was an active member of Calvin United Church serving as organist for over 60 years, starting when she was a teenager.
Along with her husband Arthur, and brother and sister-in-law Al and Rosie, they operated Whale Cove Summer Village for over 30 years. Many great friendships were formed during this time.
Ruby was predeceased by daughters, Gail and Treena; son, Wendell; grandson, Davin; sisters, Marie and Adelaide; brother, John. She is survived by foster daughter, Michelle (Shelly); and several nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. The nieces and nephews thank Uncle Arthur for his dedicated loving care, which along with the incredible home care support, nursing services and palliative care team, allowed Aunt Ruby to stay at home.
There will be no visitation. A funeral service will take place in Calvin United Church, Margaree Harbour at 2:00pm on Sunday, June 7, Rev. Alicia Cox officiating.
In lieu of flowers, charitable donations may be made to Calvin United Church Cemetery Fund, Whale Cove or a charity of choice.
