Below is the obituary for my aunt, Ruby Nell Ramsey (Foxworth). She passed away following a battle with cancer that lasted only a few weeks. My earliest memories of her are of her fishing in the Falling Water River around my grandfather's farm where she lived most of my life. When I was 18 we took a trip together with my mom, Ruby. and her youngest daughter, Tammy, to visit her oldest daughter, Debbie, and her family in Missouri.
RIP Ruby.
