Ruby loved her flower garden, crocheting, playing 500 with many close friends, her precious days camping in The Gopher Fun Trailer Club. She loved traveling to Arizona with Tom where they created many special memories with their families. She was a terrific cook and could make a fabulous meal out of just about anything. She made the best fried chicken in the entire Winona County. She took great pride in her home and had a keen eye for decorating. Aside from her family, Ruby's greatest love, however, was shopping. When it came to shopping, she was an unstoppable force. There was not a bargain she could not find and spent countless hours in that quest. She was always "dressed to the nines" and took a lot of pride in her appearance. In her later years, her friends at White Pine in Blaine marveled at her many outfits and matching accessories.
Ruby was a terrific daughter, wife, sister, mother, aunt, grandmother, great grandmother, great-great grandmother, and friend. She will be dearly missed by all who loved her.
