She was a devout wife and mother to her husband of 69 years, James Hitt and their children, Sandra and Jimmy. Growing up, she was one of eight children in her family. Ruby took so much joy in helping raise her younger brothers, Jerry and Calvin. Throughout her life she enjoyed fishing, cooking homemade meals and celebrating life with her family. She did this by organizing all family reunions and events. She always, lovingly, volunteered to help care for her grandchildren, niece, nephews and great-grandchildren. Ruby was, also, involved in the Eastern Star and Rainbow Chapter. Both, Ruby and James were members of the First United Methodist Church of Mexia. Now the family is at peace knowing that their sweet Mamaw is fishing with Jesus! She was preceded in death by her parents and brothers, Harvey, Milton, Truman and Calvin.
