She was one of two children reared in her family. Ruby attended school in Calhoun County Georgia. At an early age she accepted Christ as her personal savior and was baptized. She attended church in Edison along with her family who were God fearing people who believed in being of service to others. Later she joined Second Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church in Attapulgus, Georgia, where she worked tirelessly and worshipped there until her health declined. Ruby was a loving devoted wife to Isiah Walker for many years and to this union five children were born; Mary, Ruby, Linda, Gloria and Isiah. She loved her family with all of her heart. She enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She worked as a homemaker for many years and also for Elberta Crate Factory in Bainbridge, Georgia until she retired. Ruby slipped into eternal rest and accepted the Master’s call on April 6, 2020 at Bainbridge Memorial Hospital.
