Our precious beautiful Aunt Ruby always treated me like one of her boys…she had nothing but love in her heart and always saw the best in everything and everyone. She also welcomed Tori into our family with such a loving and giving spirit…and always had such a welcoming love for everyone she met. Never lacking in energy and adventure…she was also a true entrepreneurial lady! She raised her family to love the Lord and to always follow His ways. We have so many wonderful memories of her and they will remain in our hearts forever.
We love our Ferguson family and are thinking about you all and praying for you during this time of great loss. Berley Joe & Tori

Ruby was as loving to me as if I were her own Grandson. She was always very friendly to my mother which meant the world to me. Rick Campbell

I first met Ruby when I started attending First Christian Church in 1998. She had a very warm and loving personality that immediately enfolded me and made me feel special. She was faithful . The seat where she sat may be occupied by someone else but will always be "Ruby's seat" to me. She always told me she loved me and I loved her in return. Ruby celebrated her victory in Jesus and will now live foever. I look forward to seeing her again! ! Always in His love. Ardith Sheffield

Oh how beautiful heaven must be with Ruby there! We were privileged to visit with Ruby a few months ago, and marveled at how sharp that mind and memory was! She loved my brother (well, she put up with him anyway(!) through his and David's adventures). I loved having circle with her at church and we always told her and Maude they just went to the circle that had the best food! Ruby loved her boys and was so proud of them. We love you all.
