Ruby grew up in Legate, OK and graduated from Dickson High School in the class of 1946. She worked at Doctor Humberto Vidiallet Pediatric Clinic, retiring in 1993.

After retiring she became a Pink Lady for Mercy Memorial Hospital, volunteering in the gift shop and did so until the age of 90. Ruby was a member of the Church of Christ on Merrick Drive and the Mattie Bruce Chapter of the Eastern Star. She was a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.
