"Ruby Lee George, 88, of Little Rock, passed away Tuesday, January 21, 2014. She was born in Beaumont, Texas to Cleveland O. Wiley and Inez Youngblood Wiley and was a member of Pulaski Heights Baptist Church.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband of 65 years, Marcus B. George, daughter, Karen D'Abadie, sisters, Margaret Wickkiser and Beatrice Ellis, and brothers, C.O. Wiley, Jr. and Herbert Wiley.
Ruby George was a loving mother, a devoted member of her church and an unselfish contributor to the community. To all of her endeavors she brought a boundless energy and a quick and playful sense of humor. Many of the youth in the Heights and Hillcrest neighborhoods during the 1960's and 70's were taught to swim by her. In her church, she volunteered in numerous activities, including the Young At Hearts Group. She was proud to have participated with her husband in many of the programs of the Downtown Rotary Club 99 and was made a Paul Harris Fellow in 1982. Although she traveled to locations around the world, in recent years she enjoyed sitting on the deck of her condo on Lake Hamilton or her home overlooking the Arkansas River and having an afternoon glass of wine. Her enthusiasm for life will be missed."
