Ruby was born on June 2, 1932, in Knoxville TN the fourth of five children of Joseph & Emma (Mount) Varnes. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, and a friend to many. She and husband, Max, raised five children and built a loving home near her beloved sister, Annie and husband Charles. She was happiest when she was surrounded by her family.

She and Max reflected fondly on their musical ministry performing for many churches in their area. She sang and played the piano beautifully.
