Ruby retired from Cartersville School System after 28 years of service. She was a faithful member of Rowland Springs Baptist Church radiating faith, compassion, and a gentle spirit that made everyone feel welcome. To her friends, she was a confidante, a light in dark times, and the first to offer a helping hand or a listening ear.

Ruby was a gifted cook whose recipes will be shared across generations. Her yard, bursting with vibrant blooms, mirrored the joy and beauty she cultivated in her home and heart.

Myrtle Beach held a special place in her soul—it was where she found peace in the sea breeze, walking down the sandy shores and joy in gathering with loved ones. But her greatest treasures were her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her love for them was infinite and fierce, woven into every moment, memory, and meal shared.

Always smiling, always kind, Ruby lived her life with grace and heart, leaving behind a legacy of love that will never fade.
