High school sweethearts in Joplin, Mo., Ruby and Con shared a life together that included service to the nation during WWII (he in Burma/India, she in Joplin), community and volunteer service, and blessed their family with an unparalleled example of love and devotion.
Both lived in Metairie at the time of their passing. They leave behind four children: Nancy Gennusa (Tommy), Chuck Mills (Mary Abbott), Sandy Dirks (Al), and Brad Mills (Ahnie). Ruby and Con are also survived by nine grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren.
