Ruby Fabacher Dufrene

Ruby Fabacher Dufrene, 88, of Lake Charles, passed away on Sunday June 14, 2015 into Gods’ loving arms in the home of her eldest daughter, Connie as she and Ruby's twin daughters, Rita and Ruthie and loved ones sat at her side.

Ruby was born on October 16, 1926, in Sulphur, LA, to the late Andrew and Eva Fabacher. In 1944 she graduated from St. Charles Academy. She was a member of the V.F.W. post 2130 Ladies Auxiliary and The American Legion Auxiliary. Being a devout Catholic, she was also a member of our Lady of Good Council Catholic Church. On August 29, 1946, she married her childhood sweetheart, Eddie; together they shared 66 beautiful years and were blessed with five children.

"Our mother was a professional homemaker who served and loved the Lord with reverence and deep devotion. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She devoted her life, heart and soul to her loving family which was everything to her. 'Our circle of love' will never be the same without our precious and loving Matriarch, whose love was unwavering."

Left to cherish her memories are three daughters, Connie Leger of Lake Charles, Ruth Singer and husband Tommy of Moss Bluff, and Rita Hughes and husband Jim of Newton, TX, 19 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.
