The couple farmed together in the Castalia area for over 58 years. They moved to Postville in 1980. Ruby's smile was contagious and she brought joy and energy to all those who were in her company. For 28 years, Ruby was there to greet everyone who entered the doors of the IGA Store in Postville. She was well known for her fabulous pies, cinnamon and pecan rolls, and other baked goods. Her love of the farm was evident in the wonderful cow collection she proudly displayed.

She loved volunteering for many years including sing-a-longs at the Postville Good Samaritan Society. She loved spending time with family and friends, always cooking up a great meal for all. Her life was enriched and blessed with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren and each of them held a very special place in her arms and in her heart.
