For some reason tonight Ruby came to my thoughts. I remember Ruby from being the accountant. Ruby was always of smiles and laughter. Her love for cats were like no other. Ruby never went anywhere without her red lipstick. Her generosity never went unnoticed
My deep condolences goes out to her family.

Your Mom was such a wonderful, caring person. Legendary kindness and patience to the core.
Growing up, the Whelan house was practically a second home. I always felt like part of the family. I know that to be true for many others as well.
She, without a doubt, enriched the lives of all those fortunate enough to have known her.
She will be missed!

Our condolences to Helen and family on the passing of the most accepting and welcoming Mom, Nan, and Mother-in-law we were lucky enough to know. Ruby was a fellow Willie Nelson lover and I have fond memories of going to Farm Aid with her and Helen, not to mention the many entertaining evenings we've spent laughing with her and family. She was a unique, kind-hearted, determined, and adventurous woman. She left the world a better place and will be remembered fondly by the many lives she touched.

Ruby was such a wonderful lady who welcomed me into her home for weekends, and weeks at a time. She was like a second mother to me when Anne and I were young. In those days in the 70s, I didn’t appreciate the load she carried raising, at that time, 4 young children, looking after her home as well as cooking for Ruby’s Drive-In. There was always a turkey in her oven for those amazing hot turkey sandwiches the drive-in served. She handled it all with humour, grace, and patience. George and I send our condolences to Anne and her family. Treasure your memories. ❤️

As, you mourne the loss of your wonderful mom, just remember all the goodness she shared with so many and undoubtedly left as her everlasting legacy. Gone, but never to be forgotten, our memories of her are etched into our hearts for all time. Your sadness is shared ( not matched) by many who were so fortunate to know your mom and your whole family. May her beautiful soul rest now in the gentle peace of Christ.

My sincere condolences to Helen and your family during this very sad time. Your mother was an angel on earth.
I want to say "thank you." Thank you Mrs. Whalen for your love and kindness. You impacted my life in so many ways, and I wish everyone had a kind heart like you. To quote my mother, who said this daily, “ There’s no one kinder than Ruby”.
“A mother's love is the ultimate sacrifice, for she gives everything she has for her children. A mother's sacrifice is never-ending, and her love is never-fading. A mother's sacrifice is not just in what she gives up, but also in what she silently endures for her children.”
Much love, Colleen Funk-Murray and family

She was definitely someone we could use a few more of in this world. I am sorry for your loss and will keep you in our prayers.
