Ruby was a sweet, sweet soul who enjoyed gardening, sightseeing and birdwatching in her free time. She was always so excited for her daily car rides; she appreciated nature and loved the outdoors. She was quiet, but always had a smile on her face and was kind to just about everyone that she encountered. Mrs. Ruby will truly be missed by all that knew her.
