From the beginning of my memory, there was always Aunt Ruby. She always had the prettiest dresses that I had ever seen. Her hair was always pretty red curls with red lipstick. and rouge. Aunt Ruby was a true southern belle. We will miss her forever. But speak her name and she will never be forgotten.

So sorry to learn about the death of your mom. We met years ago when she kept our nursery at Wesley UMC. She was very special. She was friends with my mom, Odessa, and they did enjoy dancing.

Bonnie and family, I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I remember her from Sunday School at First United Methodist, in Nederland, when we were young children. Prayers for comfort and peace during this tome.

My how Mom will miss your talks on the phone, Ruby really was a Ruby, a precious jewel of a person, Some called her Red! The earth lost sparkle that day but heaven is brighter for it, so sorry John and Bonnie, but you had her a long time, not enough, before the Lord took her home. Ed, especially loved Aunt Ruby when she welcomed him into the family, after Dad's death. She said to Ed, " If anyone gives you any trouble around here, you tell me", we all remember that! She was and always be a feisty woman! Sorely missed by so many, but always remembered.
