Ruby remembered her early years in Iowa as being hard years. She remembered the wind blowing so hard that it blew over their windmill and that farming seemed to be one setback after another.
Because of her mother's poor health, Ruby was called upon to help out a lot around the home with the household chores. After her mother died of TB her grandmother, Elizabeth Abell moved in to help.
Ruby first saw the man she would later marry, Charlie Davis, when he was just a young boy driving by with a team of donkeys. Grandmother Abell insisted upon being in attendance at the wedding. Being that she was bedridden at the time, the ceremony was held in Grandma Abell's bedroom.
When she had a family of her own, Ruby read books in the evening (She borrowed them from the Kamiah Drug Store. The store always kept a few on hand as a public library.) and recited poems and sang songs to her boys. She enjoyed the country dances and the company of family and friends.
Ruby served as a president of the World War I Women's Auxiliary and was a member of the Warner Avenue Alliance Church in Lewiston, Idaho.
She died of causes incident to aging and is buried at Lewis-Clark Memorial Gardens in Lewiston, Nez Perce Co., Idaho.
