Ruby built our family’s foundation on Christ’s love and mentored each child, grandchild, and great-grandchild. She enjoyed singing hymns, going to church, canning foods, cooking and a good garage sale every now and then. She attended and was active in her church (Britton Assembly of God) for many years. Her impact was far-reaching in her community, family and the Kingdom of God. She will be missed by the many she touched throughout her life.
