She loved collecting light houses, ambulances, doll houses, sailing ships, and pretty much anything nautical. Ruby volunteered for the American Red Cross assisting service members and families in their time of need. She went on to work for the American Red Cross and was directly involved in hurricane and earthquake disaster relief. Ruby also volunteered for Civitan.
