Ruby Angeline Chasteen

Ruby A. Chasteen, age 89, of Bloomington, died Monday evening. Born October 1, 1927 in Bloomington, the daughter of Albert and Lola (Tidd) Stevens. She was a member of the West 11th St. Pentecostal Faith Assembly. Ruby was an avid Bible reader. She gave much love to others and received much love in return hosting family gatherings and sharing a cup of coffee with neighbors that dropped by to visit. She loved to cook, especially her chicken & dumplings.

Ruby is survived by her six children, Paul R. (Tanya) Chasteen, of Bloomington, Everett R. (Sarah Jane) Chasteen, of Bloomington, William L. Chasteen, of Bloomington, Rita R. (William) Bastin, of Indianapolis, Gary W. (Meri) Chasteen, of Mitchell and Janice M. (Randy) Fleener, of Unionville, sixteen grandchildren and twenty-three great-grandchildren.

Ruby was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Paul Chasteen in 2008 and seven brothers and sisters.
