Ruby C Best

Ruby C. Best was born on May 19, 1957 to William H. and Theresa E. Best in Robbins, North Carolina. She received her formal education through the Elizabeth Public Schools System. She graduated from Battin High School.

Ruby loved God. Her joy was to make others happy. There wasn’t anything that she wouldn’t do for a family member, friend, neighbor or enemy. She was just a kind and humble spirit. She was a great entertainer. Ruby could often be found singing, dancing, laughing, cracking jokes amongst her family and friends.

Ruby truly adored her grandchildren. Everyone knew that they could count on Ruby. She would babysit and help anyone. That was her second passion, after loving on her grandchildren.
