Obituary for Ruby Bass
Ruby Jean Bass was born on September 27, 1935 and left this earthly world on May 25 . 2018.
She is preceded in death by her husband Don, daughter Jeanie, brother Jack Austin, and her parents Roy and Jo Austin.
Ruby was an avid reader and loved cooking Sunday dinners for her family. She always had tea in the fridge, beans at the ready,and canned everything that Don grew in the garden. When Don was alive, there were home baked cakes, breads, or brownies on the counter. Her Christmas candy was sought after! She put so much love into everything she made. Ruby enjoyed watching old tv shows such as NCIS, Andy Griffith, and Matlock. Sheloved to put her lipstick on and go shopping with the girls after a great lunch on a Saturday where she could out-shop any of themor hop on a bus headed to a casino with JoAnn! A long-time employee of Litton Industries, she retired once. Then went to work at Wal-Mart where she enjoyed visiting with her co-workers and repeat customers.
She is survived by her brother Pete Austin, sister Betty Walker and husband Archie, brother Billy Austin and wife Barbara, and brother Tommy Austin and wife Debbie. Ruby is also survived by daughter Vicki Kerns, son Steve Bass, daughter Susie Hampton, son Jim Bass, and son Mark and wife Deonna Bass; along with 11 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, 1 great-great granddaughter, and many other extended family members and friends.
Ruby lived a long, full life and was loved by anyone who met her. She was selfless and giving with her friends and family. Heaven gained a feisty angel with a fun sense of humor today
Graveside Services will be at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, May 30, 2018, in Cedar Bluff Cemetery, near Fair Grove, MO. Visitation will be Tuesday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Greenlawn Funeral Home North. Memorial Donations may be made to the Springfield Area Down Syndrome Support Group.
