She was preceded in death by her sister Marion Dupzyk, her husband George Knaggs, her nephew Tom Wood, and her son Allan Davis.

Ruby took great delight in many things:
— she loved being with her family, and especially loved hearing about and seeing the grandchildren
— she was an avid gardener and had a green thumb that she did not pass on to her youngest daughter
— she enjoyed doing various arts and crafts, did beautiful crocheting, and was always willing to try a new project or learn a new skill
— she was a big fan of Taco Bell and passed up many a fancy birthday lunch for a burrito supreme
— once she retired she enjoyed volunteering with Shriner’s hospital and with Methodist hospital for several years and was very proud of her work there
— she enjoyed much reading, card games, gossiping, and dancing over the years
— she was a HUGE fan of shopping, Macy’s stock has likely dropped since we lost her

We will be holding a graveside Celebration of Life service at Oddfellows Lawn Cemetery, 2720 Riverside Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95818. Date to be determined.
