Ruby Fox was a name that I heard often when I began working at the Civic Center. One day, close to two years ago a woman entered the building and it was none other than Ruby Fox! She was dressed so elegantly. I introduced myself and we walked through the Civic Center as we discussed her memories. How wonderful of her family to bring her in that day! Such a blessing for you as her family to have had her for so many years! May your memories comfort you.

I'll always remember your Mother Ruby as a dear friend. In 1966 I was a newly wed and new to the community and knew very few people. Then Ruby became my Avon lady and I knew that I had met the sweetest and nicest person ever. Rudy has always been special to me and I'm so thankful for her friendship. With Deepest Sympathy, Mary Howell

Both Ruby and Bob Fox will be remembered by many in the Richwood area for many years to come. Bob for his knowledge of farming and quick wit and Ruby for her graciousness and beautiful smile. With my sincere sympathy.

Ruby was my 2nd cousin, I believe. I grew up in Dayton, OH, and did not know her well. She was quite a bit my senior ... more my parents' age - (Donald Blue). I remember her as a kind and pleasant woman. The last time I saw her was in Dayton at my mother's birthday party, maybe 5 years ago. Again, she was kind, pleasant, and caring. Her mind seemed sharp. I'm glad to have seen her there. I offer my condolences to the family.

Aunt Ruby: My Favorite Aunt, for so many reasons: her open smile, her modest laugh, her sly sense of humor, her sharp sense of the moment-- nothing escaped her observation, and opinion. Ruby was our families' historian, keeping us all up, and straight on the family tree-and everyone else within viewing distance. I was impressed so often over the recent years on her memory and her enthusiasm to keep those facts straight, except I always had another inquiry as an excuse to visit her--and I looked fwd to our banter and her response. She lived a long life, happy as possible without her Bob but with her lovely grandchildren, her caregivers Deb & John, and her doggie. She was strong and elegant, and remembered.

Sympathy to Ruby's family, she was highly respected by my parent's and a credit to the community. She was truly a part of that great generation that is now 90 plus.

Grandma, your giggle, vibrancy, love and spirit will continue on in my life. It's been a true honor to be your granddaughter. I'll miss all of our late night talks, baking in the kitchen and our bedtime prayers, but the memories I have will be cherished forever. I love you.

I remember meeting Aunt Ruby when I came to Richwood in 1975 to meet my Ohio relatives. She brought the most delicious food to our picnics, and she was always impeccably dressed. As Dean says, she was SO SHARP! Nothing got past her, which must have been tough for you, Debbie - ha ha... I developed an interest in genealogy, and whenever I'd get stuck on something, I'd as Ruby and she'd have the answer. She was our family historian. She was an amazing lady. Here's to you, Ruby. ♥
