Ruby was a faithful, devoted Christian who served in many capacities in the church of God by faith. She loved and treasured her religion. She loved people and tried to live it daily.
She was a domestic worker and enjoyed preparing delicious meals for others to share.
She lived in Polk City most of her adult life. Then when she became older, she lived with her children in various cities. So it was Evelyn’s time in Madison starting in December through May.
Ruby will be funeralized in Central Florida the second weekend in March.
A special thank you to all our friends, church members, former students, relatives, pastors, Dr. Dulay and staff, Winn-Dixie pharmacy, and Madison County Memorial Hospital staff for all your kind hospitality, words of wisdom and helping hands. Keep on doing God’s will, God’s way and be blessed.
Sincerely,
Charlie and Evelyn, Murphy and the Axson Family
