I was the Pastor for Ruby and Kep for 7 years in Hendersonville and have been a close friend for the past 3 decades. In every way they exhibited loving support for my ministry, my wife, and my children, whom they took under their wings as "grandchildren." Ruby always carried a bright smile and a warm heart. The zucchini pies she made for me were second to none! If all people were like the Wilsons, being a Pastor would be the easiest job in the world! She will be greatly missed, but not gone in our hearts. See you in heaven, Ruby!

Mama Ruby is what I called her A Angel put in my life by God Such a kind sweet loving and generous person saddened by your passing but Blessed to have known you I will truly miss you Praying for God’s comfort to all her family and friends Love You Sharon

Ruby was always so encouraging and happy in the Lord. She was a great help to us when we lived in Hendersonville as she often helped out with our kids. She adopted them as "grandkids" and they loved her very much. She was a wonderful friend and she will be greatly missed.

"Miss Ruber", as i affectionately called her as a little girl will always have a very special place in our family's hearts. We have so many fond memories of our times at Grace Baptist Church and the many years after we moved to Texas when we would go visit the Wilsons while in NC. I still have the ceramics she let me make at her house in April 1973 before our family, The Kilpatricks, moved to Texas. Our deepest sympathies and prayers for God's faithful comfort especially at the time of her homegoing. Sharon, we are praying for you. Love, Beth, Craig, Stephen and Nathan Bookout

My heart is heavy with sadness because I will miss my cousin. My last memory of a visit with her is a Sweet , sweet, Prayer from her heart for Pat and me. She was an Angel here on earth and now in heaven .

As cousins, I have a lifetime of precious memories with Ruby. There was never a sweeter, kinder or more generous person. Her spirit is like glitter sparkling in her wake and it will always show up in our hearts and thoughts whenever we think of her. Not every person makes a difference in this world. She did. I love you my dear friend/cousin and cherish all the lunches and conversations we shared. You were my spiritual shelter and inspiration. Thank you for your presence. I will miss you always! ♥

Ruby was a very sweet and intelligent lady .. she was so kind to everyone. She will be greatly missed . We loved you Ruby

I was saddened to hear of Ruby's passing. We worked together for several years at Berkeley Mills in the 1970's. She truly was a kind and compassionate person. I was honored to know her.

I have so many wonderful memories of spending time at Sharon’s house while growing up - even going to the beach with them in the summers. Ruby was beautiful both inside and out and treated me like a daughter. My heart is with Sharon at this difficult time but I know it will be a comfort to her to know her parents are together now.

Miss Ruby was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She will be missed greatly, especially by Sharon, and others whose lives she touched. I will miss her sweet texts. My heart is sad, but I know I will see her again. Praying for peace and comfort for Sharon.
