I only met Ruby once, but she definitely left a lasting impression. As my late mother resided at Strathmere, I attempted to volunteer with the Auxiliary, but covid had other ideas! Late last fall I was paired with Ruby for a Walmart shopping trip.
One hour was not enough for that 98-year-old. One "main" goal - bridge mixture( don't ask a youngish Walmart employee, they have probably never heard of it!). Bridge mixture led to potato salad with egg( do you have a small fridge? - don't worry dear, I'll eat it all at supper), butter tarts with raisins, peach candies, anything with sugar, London, Lucan, Lobo, First Lobo Baptist (I am familiar with Caughlins). Ruby, it was a fun afternoon. Thank-you. Now you may have your well- deserved rest!
