Her hobby of painting figurines and bestowing them on birthdays and holidays to family and friends gave her joy. Her heart was as warm as her infectious laugh that was guaranteed to brighten your day! Ruby was a long time and devoted member of Nazarene Missionary Baptist Church led by Rev. Larry Rascoe Sr. where she served in the Circle of Faith Missionary Group and the gospel Rock of Ages Choir. Ruby is the last of the fourteen beloved offspring of Alonzo and Elnora Hackner.
