Ruby loved sewing for her family as well as for those who knew her trade. She was very fond of camping and fishing with her family. Ruby worked as a housekeeper at a hotel and as cashier at a salon for years. But mostly a homemaker. Ruby always made sure the children had what they needed to make a home when they completed school. She gave as much advice as she could about how life had its ups and downs and if life gave you lemons well make lemonade and go on. She was a simple lady but when others needed help she always was there to help. She would say whatever was on her mind. She endured a lot of hard obstacles in life and she made it like a cat with 9 lives. She never gave up. That was her legacy to tell all the kids whatever you do, don't give up! Keep trying to do your best and all will be okay. She will be greatly missed.
The family has chosen to have private services. Arrangements and cremation under the direction of the Stumpff Funeral Home & Crematory. Friends who wish may sign the online guest book and leave condolences at www.stumpff.org.
