Her roots of growing up on a farm never left her. She liked living on acreage with no houses close. Ruby loved working outside and always planted a large garden every year. It was not uncommon to work in the garden until past dark every day. She always kept her yard and surroundings immaculate. Early in her life she always had chickens and cows.

There is not any of the older country and western stars she hasn’t seen. Ruby was a big Nascar race fan. She would never miss watching or listening to a race. Ruby would be very excited when a Ford won, since she never owned any car or truck that was not a Ford. She was a member of the Lee’s Summit Christian Church.
