Family of Ruby - May you find Peace in knowing that Ruby is at Peace.
Ruby will be thought of continually, and greatly missed! She was as the young people say 'keeping it 100'. Her 100 was the Best LOVE you could experience. It sometimes hurt your feelings but the majority of the time it uplifted your heart.
Remembering our days!

I tried hard to be down and sad but "our" memories kept lifting me up, making me straighten up, smile and even laugh out loud. We was something else, those summers we spent together. As I type this, I'm overloaded with hilarious memories. I promise to put everything I was taught to use and pass the knowledge/wisdom along. My grandmother did so much work on this earth, she touched many from all walks of life. I feel her more than ever, she's closer to me now. Physically gone, Spiritually strong in mental. It bothers me that life didn't permit more time together, however all the times we shared were filled with QUALITY, that'll last FOREVER. My sincere condolences to our family and those unrelated that Ruby touched. She'll definitely be missed. REST IN PARADISE Grandmother(lol, I remember she told me "Don't call me Grandma, call me COOT!")

My maternal Aunt Ruby, the queen, the matriarch and the longest reigning member of our family. We honored, loved and respected her.
She posessed the strength and the gentleness of both parents, John P. Ozier and Gracie Ballard-Ozier along with the wisdom of her grandmother Willie A. Holtom-Ballard.
We lost a treasure of knowledge with you---what a legacy.
I have many wonderful memories of you. Thanks for all you armored me with in this life.
Rest in Eternal Peace!
Your niece Kasandra---always and forever, love you.

Praying that our lord comfort you Dallas, Jerod, Erica and the rest of the Grandkids. Coots spirit and quick wit will remain in me forever as with a lot of us her serious side and laughter always had an effect on me. Our most recent talks were about keeping our trust in Jesus Christ and no matter what the world does That God is always in Control. Love Aunt Vera Ruby Boards. (COOT) Curtis G Gardner.

Granny, because you were my niece Ericka's granny, all I knew was to call you Granny. You were a wonderful grandmother to my niece. Over the years, I came to visit you with my sister and niece, where we gained a loving relationship. I love you, Granny, and I will miss you and all the great dinners you prepared for us. I am heartbroken and will see you again.

Ruby is my Aunt by marriage but we were special friends by choice. Sometimes months would go by with us not seeing each other, but when we were together it was always like we talked yesterday. She loved me as I did her, I will miss her dearly. So happy that she was in my life. REST MY FRIEND IN THE ARMS OF GOD.

Grandmother,
I thought of you today, but that was nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too.
I think of you in silence. I often speak your name.
All I have is memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake from which I’ll never part.
God has you in His arms. I have you in my heart.
I love you so much and will forever remember everything you’ve taught me.
Your Grandbaby/daughter Ericka.
