Ruby enjoyed life loved her family. She enjoyed spending time with her sisters, working crossword puzzles, gambling, playing SkipBo, fishing and quilting. She made each of her grandchildren a quilt. She also enjoyed cooking and baking. Not only did she enjoy doing it, but the family enjoyed eating it. Dustin would always ask for a green pie and Ruby made her famous pistachio pie for him.
