The Bakersfield Californian 
Ruby E. Anderson
Private Services

Ruby was born January 24, 1908 and raised in Illinois. She met her husband, 
John, while in High School. They married in 1928. His passion for farming and 
opportunities in California, led them to Wasco, CA. Farming with a team of 
mules in the early 30s. Progressing to owning one of the first cotton pickers 
in the country in the late 40s. John and Ruby, over the course of their 
marriage, had ten children. 

Ruby was a homemaker and avid gardener. However, she never limited herself to 
those activities. Ruby faced the numerous challenges that farming and raising 
children brought with tenacity and courage. Doing whatever was necessary to 
help keep it all working. Retired from farming after 75 years, John and Ruby 
became Snow Birds, spending half of each year in Montana, with son, Paul and 
his family.

Ruby was preceded in death by her loving husband of 67 years, John; and son, 
John Jr. Survivors include sons, Dwayne, Paul and Tom; daughters, Joyce, Mary, 
Rozana, Rebecca, Cindy and Cheryl; 20 grandchildren and numerous great and 
great-great-grandchildren.

The family would like to extend their thanks and gratitude to Laura and Steve 
of Hoffman Hospice for their support and care. We would also like to thank 
Beverly Manor of Shafter and Bakersfield for their extra TLC especially in 
those last weeks. Thanks also, to Dr. Yeh, her physician, for his special 
attention to Rubys needs. These are all truly special people.

Ruby will be interred at Greenlawn Southwest Memorial Park, 2739 Panama Ln., 
next to her husband, John. No services are planned.

In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to Hoffman Hospice in Rubys 
name.
