I have known Ruby all my life, her and my sister Sharon were very close for many years. Ruby and I were both exhibeter5s at the Holiday Far at the Lacrosse center and she made many people happy with her talents. She was such a kind considerate person to everyone, and sometimes taken advantage of because of her sweetness. As part of the Holiday Fair family, you will be missed Ruby and not forgotten.
We always enjoyed visiting with Ruby – always a smile and pleasant word. She will be missed.
To family and friends, I am so sorry to hear of Ruby’s passing. I knew Ruby from Logan High School. Ruby was such a nice person. She will be missed by all that knew her. Lynette (Schaller) Neumann.
Sorry for your loss. We knew Ruby through her brother, Wally. Ruby also bought a horse from us years ago. Ruby enjoyed her animals and was always fun to chat with. Thoughts and prayers coming your way.
