Her love of life could be felt by everyone who met her. To know her, was to love her. Her family was very important to her, and she called everyone and sang Happy Birthday to each of us on our birthdays. She was the ring leader at every family gathering.  She loved nature,  animals and dogs, and she always had mans best friend by her side. Ruby was her greatest joy, and she parented many animals throughout her life.

She danced at numerous weddings, and  was the first and the last off the dance floor. She enjoyed visiting numerous casinos, and dining at her favorite restaurants. She loved all genres of music, singing, and just loved life in general.
