We have known Ruby practically all of our lives, and I (Ken) have been blessed to serve her, Sam & their family as insurance agent for many years. We have rarely known someone who was so lovingly devoted to her family and friends. Our hearts are broken for the family. We love you all and are praying for you.

SAM AND FAMILY. We are heartbroken over the death of Ruby. She has been so good to check on Junior and bring him her wonderful desserts then when I became her part time neighbor she treated me with the same kindness. We are praying that God will help you get through this sad time.

The Turner family will never be the same without Ruby, not only for Sam and her 8 children but for her extended family and friends. It was often said that Ruby was the glue that kept the family together. She loved her family and showed it every day. She loved celebrating birthdays and Thanksgivings etc. and inviting " the more the merrier". She was a woman of great strenght and was like a "Mama Bear" if you even thought about harming her children. We enjoyed playing Rook with her, "them two was a hoot". She and Sam were faithful members of The Fieldcrest Road Church of God. Our thoughts and prayers for her family. Robert and Janice Turner
