Ruby C. Pope

(Ma Pope)

June 16, 1920 - February 2, 2011

Ruby C. Pope, one of the Lord’s precious jewels, was born on June 16, 1920,

in Port of Spain, Trinidad, West Indies, to the late Augustus Emanuel

Andrews and Clepatria Hinds Andrews. On February 2, 2011, Ruby passed away

suddenly while visiting her native land.

After graduating from Tranquility High School in 1938, Ruby married the

late Dolton C. Pope. There were six children raised from this union. In

1968, she migrated to New York to be with her daughter. In 1988, the two

relocated to the Atlanta area, where they remained until the heavenly

trumpet was blown as God called Ruby home.

As a professional seamstress, Ruby rendered services to a wide range of

people. She had the gift of making others around her laugh. Her favorite

pass times were pokeno, crossword puzzles, preparing meals for her family,

and dancing. Ruby was an active and dedicated member of the Charles Griswell

Senior Citizen Center.

Ruby was a loving and caring woman highly spoken of by others as a jovial

independent person. She treasured every moment of life and considered it to

be a true treasure granted from above. Ruby ran her race, stayed the

course, and received her reward at the finish line. As she entered through

the heavenly gates into the arms of her Savior, he greeted her with smile

and whispered, “Ruby, well done my faithful servant! Well done!”

Ruby leaves behind precious memories to be cherished by her four sons:

Mervyn (Sylvia), Davidson, Christopher (Cheryl) and Douglas (Marcia); two

daughters: Glenda and Patricia; Grandchildren: Beverly, Allison, Ronald,

Theresa, Abendigo, Patrick, Kwabena, Dwayne, Brandon, Sharifa, Frances, and

the late Nathaniel; Great Grandchildren: Brian, Andrae, Joseph, Kyaria,
