How can someone you have never met in person touch your life so much? I will remember her beautiful smile, her positive outlook on everything and I will treasure her singing happy birthday to me with all my heart. Ruby is an inspiration to us all and I will miss her so much, rest easy my friend.

Ruby's life long dedication to kindness and caring for her fellow human goes way back. In her early teens when others are trying understand what is going on, she was a kind and caring person. That is when I first met her. I was in the sixth grade with her sister Sherry and she was in seventh. That was a tumultuous year for me. Ruby and Sherry were bright spots during that time. I will always remember her kindness. Seraphim has a beautiful angel in their choir. Love always Jim Egged

I met Ruby at a Styx show, which seems truly fitting because she was a wonderful ambassador for their music. At a show in Anaheim, California, a drawing was held for a guitar, and when the winning number was called, a little voice said tremulously, “I won.” I turned to my left to see a lovely woman with long, beautiful hair, looking a bit stunned.
It took her a few minutes to really believe it had happened, but when the reality sank in, her face lit up with a brilliant smile. Anyone who knew Ruby knows what I mean — the lady had an incandescent smile.
We got to know each other better, and hung out at more shows, and she quickly became one of my favorite humans on the planet. Her kindness and her generosity showed in countless ways, and she had a delightfully sly wit. And let me tell you — this lady could SING. I will never forget when she belted out Happy Birthday to our friend Thom after a Tommy Shaw show in Cleveland, surprising us all with her gorgeous voice.
When I went through a rough patch in my life, calls from Ruby helped me get through it. It is a balm to the soul to know you are loved by someone like Ruby. Not once did she end a call without telling me that she loved me.
Losing Ruby has been devastating, but I’m grateful to have been able to call her my friend.

Thank you Ruby for being there and supporting me when I was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2022. Your love and support helped me.
You fought your cancer so hard. I will never forget you.

Rube,
I thought we had more time, I guess you did too. But I am grateful to have known you for 46 years. Almost 47 at our birthdays this year. I'm going to miss you calling and singing me happy birthday and calling me "old lady" because I am 20 days older. No one else in my life except you has ever referred to me as their "Army Buddy". Do you remember that first Christmas we shared the apartment in Manhattan and we couldn't afford the tree? So we went out into the country and dug up our own. You took pictures and called it "Our Charlie Brown" Christmas tree. Oh, I have had so much fun with you, Girl. Concerts, vacations, calls and visits and lots and lots of laughter. I appreciate you for being Keith's Godmother. I love that he chose you and you agreed. What a couple of Scorpios you two are! Remember your dad asking me when we visited him in St. Louis, and I told him I was going to have a baby? He said," Now, what are you going to do?!" And I said, "I'm going to have my baby and live." When I told my dad he said, "I see that Miss Sue." I liked your dad a lot. After my dad he came in second in my book. Well Hon, I am glad of the promise I made you. I hope you think I am doing the job the way you want it to be done. You we're always such a Warrior Queen and a Spiritual Warrior. So, carry on my fine soldier. You have been Outstanding in this life. I know Jehovah has welcomed you with open arms. I don't believe I have known a finer person than you. So talented, but also full of humor and laughter. Remember when I first met you? You were shooting pool in the day room, and you kicked Drill Sargeant Ramey's ass. I said to myself, who is that girl? I want to meet her. Well, Thank You for the years of love, friendship and family. I cherish it. I thought we were going to grow old and live at the coast. Well, maybe in the next life. Until then, Happy Trails My Friend, Until We Meet Again. I love you, sue

Ruby was a wonderful person. We met through her sister Sherri. We had many wonderful times together and several concerts. I think my best memory will always be tho, when she called me and I flew to LA and surprised Sherri for her 50th birthday. She had to hide me for two days and then I hid in front of the limo when we went to get Sherri. The look on her face was priceless. But Ruby planned it all. That's how she was. The best.

Ruby and I worked in several places together. The SRO Southern Reservations Office in Texas is where we first met, Chicago etc. A beautiful person with a heart of gold. Her struggles with cancer brought us back in contact, I am 5 years in remission, and I thank God every day. Ruby is singing with the angels now, probably their new conductor.!!

Ruby's is a life to be celebrated. From proudly serving her country to having one of the biggest hearts ever she touched more people than she would ever know. The closest I came to meeting Ruby was being at the same Styx show and she commented on some of the pictures I posted. We became Facebook friends. Later, I posted a picture of me with my Mom and sisters at the Las Vegas sign. She beautifully enhanced it, took out all the people and signs around us and made it a beautiful memory made even more special because it turned out to be the last picture of all of us together. And that was Ruby. She loved her job at SFO, loved her friends, her pet family and all animals, and music, especially Styx music. Her light may be gone from the world, but it will never be forgotten.

I met Ruby in Sfo , i worked with her as a ticket agent , we later transfer to Oak to salvage our jobs after 911 there were many cuts due to the event n it was there that i learned valuable aspects via her regarding running an entire airline it was a small airport n we were responsible to knowing every aspect with our skeleton crew , she was humerus n made light of setback days in which flights were cancelled due to either delays or full on cancellation, reminding me nothing cant be healed with a good laugh when all about us were at their wits end , but a possess a lasting memory , she left me , after hearing of her death , i decided to view my messages from her in messenger on facebook n i had no idea that she had left me not one but a multitude of songs conducted by her wishing me a happy birthday , after my divorce every year , she knew i was devastated n alone through those years n took many times out to consider me n build up my spirit with sweet tribute , i had no idea , she sang but its a great way i can recall the selfless love whenever i am feeling alone or down , i was so busy working through those years , i had no idea she left them , i encourage all to check your messages, for she did kind acts of this nature , to sum it up , i prayed fervently that she would win her battle with cancer behind the scenes n my faith is set up so tuff i really expected her to do just that after a long n weary travail but God had other plans n if our goal is to ultimately be with our creator than i have comfort in knowing that is each of our goals albeit too soon , she has now entered her eternal life that will not cease forever more free of pain n filled with ultimate joy ♥️
