 Ruby loved playing bingo & other activities while a resident at Lumber City Nursing Home. Ruby always wanted to be dressed to a “T” with her hair jet black, red lipstick & her blingy jewelry. The blinger the better. Ruby enjoyed visiting Gail Hester her beautician & Gail Nuygen her nail technician to be pampered. Swinging through Dairy Queen for an ice cream was always a treat.

Ruby will be laid to rest beside her late husband Coey Colby Manning in the Colesburg Cemetery Woodbine, Ga.
