A worker, a mother, a sister, a warrior, are a few adjectives to describe the imprint and legacy left by Ruby on this world. She accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Paige Grove Missionary Baptist Church where she was a faithful member. Granny, Aunt Ruby, Ms. Ruby, Sister Ruby and Momma are a gew of the names she was affectionately know as. If you needed a ride, she was there, if you were hungry, she had a plate, if a church requested a representative she was in the pew.
