I worked with Ruby for many year. I loved her from our first meeting. She told me when I got my RN she would fix me chicken n dumplings, greenbeans, cornbread and caramel cake. I have lost a dear friend just like Martha Dalton. May you Rest In Peace till we meet again.

To Lynda and the family. So thankful to have known Ruby over the years. It was good to hear her voice on the other end when she would call and check on us. She loved her family and will surely be missed all who knew her. (Ruth & Arvel Lewis)

I know that Aunt Ruby is in heaven and praising the Lord! She was a true caregiver for people in need. She helped so much with my dad Rufus and was a rock for my mom after dad died. She will never know how much she was loved and appreciated by our family. I will sure miss her famous fruit cake she would make for us. I feel honored to have had her and Aunt Lynda in my family.

Prayers for Rhonda, Jerry and immediate family!

Love,
Mitzi Lee Jones Gilliam.
