Ruby was a 1942 graduate of Middlebrook High School and a member of Mt. Tabor Lutheran Church for over 70 years. She enjoyed working in Circle 11, the Church's Museum and Historical Committee. Her love of history and genealogy will be her legacy to family and friends. Among her many interests was a deep love for all types of music which was passed on to her children.  She enjoyed sharing recipes, plants and flowers and good conversation. She sent many greeting cards for all occasions. Above all, her life revolved around the home and family. Ruby truly lived one day at a time.
