Ruby Overman left her earthly body on February 20th 2024. She was born on January 27, 1937, to Phillip Calvin Howell and Mary Dixon Howell in Kings Mountain N.C. Ruby was loved by all who met her. She had a loving heart and was a kind soul.
Ruby was a beautician for most of her life. She also worked at Chapter 13 for some years. She loved her little dog, Scuby, who misses her so much. Ruby loved life and lived it to the fullest. She loved living at the beach for many years and enjoyed going to auctions. She had made many friends at the Sportsman’s Club where she enjoyed playing bingo. She also enjoyed fishing and crafting.
