and play 42, the guitar, harmonica and the piano. She especially enjoyed
spending time with her family and was quite proud that she was present
for the birth of all of her grandchildren. Ruby was a very faithful

In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her parents;
two sons, Billy Jordan and Teel Jordan; a great-grandson, Tommy Tynes;
