Ruby Marie King Fisher, 90 of Wilmington passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family, on September 21, 2019. It eases our heart knowing that God has called her home. She was born February 11, 1929 in Arnheim, OH, daughter of the late Harry and Lucy King. She was a 1946 graduate of Mt. Orab High School and a 1969 graduate of Wilmington College with a degree in Elementary Education. She was a member of Alpha Phi Kappa at Wilmington College.
Her first teaching job was at Owensville Elementary. Ruby taught many years for the Wilmington Public Schools at East End Elementary, Main Building and Roy E. Holmes Elementary, retiring in 1989. She was a member of St. Anthony’s Episcopal Church and Faith Lutheran Church. Ruby was a member of the Clinton County Retired Teachers, Young Mother’s Club, Progress Club and Church Women United of Clinton County.
She was a dedicated Mom, Grandma and Great-Grandma who was loved, admired, adored and respected by all her family. Her presence will be forever with us as we struggle with her loss. She was strong-willed, stubborn, beautifully put together, and fast on her feet but amazing in all aspects of her life! We will always remember her smile, the touch of her hand and the kiss of her cheek!
Ruby is survived by 3 sons, 2 daughters, a brother, a brother-in-law, 9 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, and many other friends and beloved former students.
In addition to her parents, Ruby was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Herman A. Fisher, whom she shared 61 years with; her sisters and brothers-in-law, Helen (Harold) Meyers and Carol (Paul) Murphy; sister-in-law, Pauline Fisher; and grandson, AJay Gumley.
