Ruby was living in Freemont, California on June 21, 1968 when she wrote Laura Viola (Harrison) Rodgers, in a brithday card, to tell her that Larry Davis had written her from the war and seemed fine and she had only received one letter from her son Butch and wasn't expecting to hear from him again until he comes home. Ruby ends the card "I hope you get this card on time - had to ride my broom to the store to get and I'm pooped! Love Ruby, Paula & Baron". Laura Viola (Harrison) Rodgers Family Scrap Book

Ruby's brother, William Alphous "Bill" Harrison said that Ruby died from a rare skin disease called Scleroderma. The Center for Disease Control states Scleroderma is chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis (or hardening) of vascular alterations and autoantibodies. It rapidly progresses and effects a large area of the skin and one or more internal organs, frequently the kidneys, esophagus, heart and lungs and is quite disabling. The cause is unknown, but it is known to run in families and there is no cure and only the symptoms can be treated.
