Rebecca Lott wrote a sympathy message

“Ruby was such a special lady. We first met at Spring Valley School where she was a stellar aide to third and fourth grade teachers! We couldn’t have done it without her kindness and support!! She was a wonderful Mother to her children, Danny, who was in my 3rd grade class, and Debra, who couldn’t wait to start kindergarten! Then, Ruby was moved to Central Office and left a big void in our days! We truly missed her. Ruby was truly a lovely lady who worked hard at all she accomplished.”
