My thoughts and prayers to Ruby Jeans friends and family, as I just learned of her passing. Ruby Jean was my mother's (BettyAnn Peterson Kraus) cousin. My most fond memory of Ruby Jean from my childhood was her pet skunk. Although I had not seen her in over 30 years.. I still carry many fond memories.
God bless!!

Ruby was a dear person who always had her heart in the right place. It was an honor to sing with her for many years, we had so much fun and so many giggles. Her spirit was a true light that will now shine through those whom she loved and will remain bright in our hearts as we remember her.
