She was raised in Pulaski County, near Dixon, Missouri, and graduated from Dixon High School in the Class of 1941. After she and Ray were married, they made their home in Lebanon, and lovingly raised their son.

She then worked at the Lebanon Wal Mart Store for ten years.
Ruby had made her profession of belief in Christ and followed the Baptist faith throughout her life.
She greatly enjoyed being with her family, and liked cooking and doing things for them for as long as her health permitted. She possessed a sweet and kind personality and enjoyed visiting with her friends.
Ruby was a loving mother, sister, and aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her long life and her accomplishments, and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them during her lifetime.
