Ruby Mae Mastin's Obituary

She was an amazing, strong woman—a true firecracker. She never held anything back, yet at the same time would give you the shirt off her back without hesitation. A hardworking and determined woman, she owned and operated her own landscaping business and also worked at Keller Manufacturing. Above all else, she loved her family dearly, and they were the center of her world.
