I am saddened to learn of Ruby's passing. I worked with her for several years at old First National Bank. She was a wonderful Christian lady with a great sense of humor. I still have a grapevine wreath that she gave me that was made from grape vines on her property. I know she will be missed by all who knew her. God Bless!!
