Ruby loved all people and crafts including knitting, crocheting quilting, sewing, and scrapbooking.  These two loves often converged, as she joyfully gave gifts of potholders, quilts, and afghans she’d made to those around her.  Ruby was a devoted Jehovah’s Witness for most of her life; often sharing with those she met, her faith in Jehovah’s promise of everlasting life on earth.
