Rubie’s biggest joy in life was her family. Rubie had a passion for life and she lived every day to
the fullest. She brought a smile to everyone she met. She lived in the Royal Coach Mobile
Home Park for 25 years and many of her friends there called her the Queen. She loved to sew,
make crafts and run around in the park in her golf cart. She was a member of the sew club in
the Plantation.
At this time, we will be postponing the Celebration of Rubie’s Life until it is safe to hold large
gatherings.
