Ruby or as most called her, Grandma Ruby lived a life full of adventure led by determination and love. She grew up on Highway 110 and may have known a few things about moonshine making, walking to school, to the movies or just hanging out on the mountain. She married Vaughn at a young age, and they started an adventure spending most of her life cutting timber, running a chainsaw, and a loader with her husband. Ruby did whatever it took to feed her family. Her family's venture in construction took them to Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky, following constructions jobs. She pursued many interests like camping, hunting, fishing, gardening and canning. Her grandchildren loved listening to her stories. Ruby never turned a child away, often having multiple kids staying over for weeks and months at a time. She'd ask for a head count to make biscuits and gravy. You never went hungry if she was around, she literally could make a home cooked meal out of nothing. Grandma Ruby leaves us with memories of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, Fourth of July camping trips and a whole lot of love. Mom, Grandma you are the resemblance of Proverbs 31.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Linda Kay Teague, Dale Kirkendoll, David Kirkendoll, Jimmy Kirkendoll and Jeff (Paula)Kirkendoll, grandchildren; Shawn Teague, Kayen Sawrie, Leah Teague, Josh Teague, Nikkina Porter, Kandi Looney, Danielle Blazer, Josie Anderson, Heather Anderson- Short, Shannon Terrien, Shane Harness, Amanda Young, Michael Kirkendoll, Ronnie Kirkendoll, Bobby Kirkendoll, Teddy Kirkendoll, Jennifer Johnson, Jason Kirkendoll, Rachel Kirkendoll and Jacob Kirkendoll, numerous great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren, siblings, Cecil Bramlett, Margrett Griffith, Wade Bramlett, Sallie Tumlinson , extended family and many friends.
