Ruby Jane Ford

Our loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend, Ruby Virginia Curtis Ford, fondly called Ruby Jane, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday, June 6, 2015. Ruby Jane was born September 10, 1926 to Robert Leroy Curtis and Esther Emma Bennett in Alma, Arkansas. She married Wyatt Lamont Robinson in 1945 and lived many places in Kansas raising their children. She worked many jobs to help support her family from working in the fields, milking cows and waitressing, but her most rewarding job was being a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. A job if you ask her family they would tell you she did with unconditional and undeniable love and strength. In 1974 she married her soul mate Frank D. Ford in Anson, Texas. She helped Frank in his business, Ranger Plant Constructional Company for many years. She was spunky and full of life. She gave the best hugs and gave of herself fully to all she met. She was the matriarch of her family in the truest sense of the word. She loved and enjoyed her church family at Hamby Baptist Church where she was a member. She loved helping children through the Optimist Club and volunteering to take kids Christmas shopping and helping with the Hot Air Balloon Fest.
