Ruby Toler

Ruby Toler of Raleigh, North Carolina, passed away on August 2, 2023, surrounded by her loving family and a collection of her favorite rubber ducks.

Born on August 16, 1948, Ruby embraced life with unparalleled zest and an infectious smile. She was a beacon of joy in her community, always ready with a kind word, a warm hug, and her famous chocolate chip cookies that could cure any ailment.

Ruby was known for her adventurous spirit and enthusiasm. If there was a dance floor, she would be the first one on it, twirling and twisting with boundless energy and style. Ruby's karaoke sessions were legendary, bringing down the house with her renditions of classic hits, even if she didn't always get the lyrics quite right.

Ruby adored her family and friends, always nurturing and bringing people together with her delicious home-cooked meals. No one will ever forget her Thanksgiving feasts, where her expertly seasoned turkey became the stuff of legends. Ruby's sweet laughter, love for storytelling, and terrible jokes brought endless smiles to those around her.

When she wasn't filling the world with her warmth, Ruby soaked up the sun on the beautiful beaches of the North Carolina coast. Armed with her beloved floppy hat and a stack of romantic novels, she could be found losing herself in stories of adventure and love.

Ruby is survived by her adoring children, who will carry forward their mother's legacy of kindness and laughter. She will also be missed by her faithful furry companion, Max, who was by her side until the very end.

Ruby, your radiant spirit touched so many lives, and your memory will forever live in our hearts. We will honor you by embracing life with the same joy and fervor that you did, celebrating your remarkable legacy every day. Rest in peace, Ruby Toler, always surrounded by the love you so wholeheartedly shared.
