In Loving Memory of Ruby Mae
July 13, 2014 – July 3, 2026
Ruby Mae was the sweetest, most gentle soul anyone could have hoped to know. She never met a stranger and never made an enemy. Her heart was full of unconditional love, quiet kindness, and unwavering loyalty. Though she never had a litter of her own, she was a mother in every sense of the word. She instinctively nurtured and cared for every animal she met, becoming the loving leader and protector of her family.
Ruby leaves behind her nine beloved siblings—five doggie sisters, two doggie brothers, and two kitty brothers—along with her parents and bonus parents, who loved her more than words can ever express. Her absence leaves an immeasurable void in all of their hearts.
Ruby had a way of making everyone feel special. She welcomed every person with kindness, every animal with acceptance, and every day with quiet joy. She was deeply loved and admired by her siblings, who looked to her for comfort and guidance. Whether they were showering her with kisses or patiently letting her enjoy the first treat, it was clear how much they adored and respected her.
For ten incredible years, Ruby gave a lifetime of love. She came into her mom’s life in the most unexpected way—her dad convinced her to go on a date by introducing her to Ruby. What began as a simple meeting became the greatest gift imaginable. Ruby was a first puppy love, a constant companion, and the heart of the family. She changed lives simply by being herself.
Ruby also had a funny way of growing her family. She somehow convinced her mom to keep bringing home more dogs, always chasing the impossible dream of finding another one just like her. In the end, everyone realized the truth: there will never be another Ruby.
She was the very best cuddler, always finding her place pressed gently against the people she loved, offering a quiet comfort that made every house feel like home. Her gentle, unwavering presence brought peace, safety, and unconditional love to those lucky enough to share life with her.
While our hearts are broken, we find comfort imagining Ruby being welcomed into Heaven by Grandpa, greeted with open arms and a pocket full of chicken treats.
Ruby Mae was more than a dog. She was family, a best friend, a teacher of unconditional love, and the heart of her home. Her paw prints will remain on our hearts forever, and the love she gave will continue to live on through every life she touched.
Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever our Ruby Mae.
