Central Baptist Church for 45 years, where she served as church

She loved to bake and always had cookies and pies for family and 
friends.

She enjoyed spending time at her grandchildren and great 
grandchldren's sporting events or with her son, James, or spending a 
relaxing week at her son, Ken's home in the mountains near 
Atascadero.

We will miss her, but what wonderful memories we all have of her.  
These memories will endure until we once again meet her in our 
eternal home.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Baker, Dr. Sarup Bhangoo and Glenwood 
Gardens.

 A special thanks to Emma Kearney of Hoffman Hospice for the loving 
care and friendship the last few weeks of Ruby's life.
