Ruby was a gifted seamstress and quilter whose hands worked magic with fabric and thread. Her beautiful creations, crafted with care and precision, will be cherished by family and friends for generations.

When she wasn’t sewing or quilting, Ruby found joy in her flower and vegetable gardens. Her green thumb transformed her yard into a vibrant oasis of color and life, reflecting her nurturing spirit. Ruby’s gardens were not just a testament to her skill but also a place where she found peace and fulfillment.

Ruby’s love for her home was evident in everything she did. It was a place filled with love, laughter, and the smell of fresh-baked goods. Her home was a sanctuary where family and friends always felt welcome and cherished.

A private service will be held at a later date.
