Ruby was in an automobile with Virginia Walker which was driven by Bobby Hatmaker when he lost control and ran into the Parksville Lake. Both the young women drowned but Hatmaker survived and was charged with involuntary manslaughter.

Ruby's death certificate says her parents were Hoyt Trentham and Maggie Cronan and that she was interred in Four Mile (Old Ocoee.)

Virginia's body was recovered immediately following the accident, but Ruby was not found until two days later.
