She had been a seamstress at Rex Brown Clothing Factory and Blue Bell Clothing Factory in Fulton. She had been a resident of Aransas Pass, Texas since December 14, 1959 when she married Terry R LeBlanc and they had been married for over 50 years until his passing. Terry always said she was the love of his life and he basically proposed to her on their first date. She had worked as a clerk at Shoe World and for C W Marshall Funeral Home for many years sharing her singing talent and the love for singing. Ruby was known for harmonizing with anyone and had started singing with her brothers at the age of three years old. She had the uncanny ability to play the piano by ear and often harmonized with herself. At the age of 44 she had a chance to go to Nashville to record her music but due to health reasons, had to decline. She will forever be remembered for singing “One Day at a Time” and “Thank You Lord for Your Blessings on Me.” She had relocated to Plano in November 2009. She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Plano. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and most important a Christian.
