Ruby Celestine Taylor Obituary

We bid farewell to Ruby Celestine Taylor (Silver Spring, Maryland), born in Hampton, Virginia, whose journey of life gracefully concluded on August 21, 2025 at the age of 84. Ruby touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Family and friends are welcome to send flowers or leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

As Ruby departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Ruby may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Ruby leaves behind.

She was predeceased by: her siblings, Horace Pernell and Eunice Brown Thomas; her daughter Debra D. Taylor Gorman; her sisters, Margo Thomas and Brenda Jean Thomas-Kelly; and also Delano R. Taylor.
