Those who knew Ruby would call her a
collector of unique items and everything in between.
She enjoyed arts & crafts, especially taking time
out of her day to paint. At Myers Industry she was a
carpenter and loved being able to have a profession
where she could work with her hands. She later
worked and loved spending time with people in the
Garden Center at Wal-Mart in Lincoln. She had a work
ethic and persona that was inviting to all who came
in to see her. Above all else, Ruby loved her
family; her kids and grandkids meant everything to
her.
Services for Ruby will be held at 10 a.m. on Monday,
November 20, 2023, at Fricke-Calvert-Schrader
Funeral Home in Lincoln. Visitation will take place
