Ruby, known affectionately by her loved ones as "Nanny" and "Old Nanny", lived a life of love, patience and filling everyone's bellies with her amazing down home cooking.  No one left her home without eating and feeling loved.  She was a homemaker who raised children, and helped raise her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  This precious lady was a God fearing Christian woman who loved her family with all she had.  She has left a stamp on the hearts of anyone who met her.  She will be greatly missed by all of her loved ones, but our hope is found in the God she knew.  He took her home and we will see her again on that Heavenly Shore.  We love you Nanny, now and forever more.  So this is not 'goodbye" but "see you later, Nanny"!
