Ruby was a homemaker and dedicated her life to the care of her family. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her family meant everything to her; she would have gone to hell and back for them.

She was preceded in death by her husband, James Kimball; her daughter, Rhonda Janice Floyd; her son, Stephen Douglas Kimball; and her parents, Willie and Winnie Monceaux.
Those chosen to honor Ruby as her pallbearers will be Riley Menard, Joseph Guillotte, Stephen Kimball, Alec Guidry, Travis Istre and Curtis Giles.
