Ruby was a Christian and a member of the Stonewall United Methodist Church, where she was the church’s historian and also a member of the choir.  She was a graduate of Victory high School with the class of 1947.  She formally worked for Imperial Ice Cream and retired from Smith’s Transfer Corporation.  She was a member of the Harrison County Genealogy Society, Marion County Genealogy Club, Forks of the Buffalo Genealogical Society and the Upshur County historical Society.

She was a patrol girl at Hepzibah Grade School.  Her greatest enjoyment came from attending and watching her son, Bobby participate in many athletic sports.  Whether it was baseball, basketball or football, she was in the stands rooting him on.  In 1995, she and her son, Bobby attended night classes on an introduction to computer and software at Gore Technical Center.  Something that was ground breaking for a woman her age to learn a new skill.
