Her mother, Isabel (Huerd) Ostby, was a homemaker. Both have since gone home to be with the Lord. She is the middle child of five, three boys and two girls, but two of her brothers have passed away.

Professional Work and Medical Challenges
Ruby is proud to be called a life-long homemaker, raising 4 children as well as being a talented cook, barber, seamstress, artist and interior decorator.
As her children grew, her professional interest turned to nursing. She successfully completed training as a Certified Nursing Assistant, but her nursing career was cut short by a severe medical condition in her feet. Despite this difficulty and other trials of life, she returned to a skill she honed as a homemaker and started a clothing alteration business. An unfortunate accident caused a severe disability to her left arm, which left her unable to perform the detailed tasks required of a seamstress. After much self-instructed therapy she eventually regained regain the use of her left arm and secured employment in the secretarial field. She worked four years in this field before she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and was unable to continue working. Although wheel-chair bound, she was even more determined to get well and make something of her life.
Because of how much she has suffered from medical disabilities, Ruby has a passion for researching alternative medical treatments. Through this effort, she was able to bring several conditions into remission including Arthritis, Lupus, and MS.
In additional to all of this, writing poetry has been a passionate hobby throughout the past 48 years. In times of tribulation and trials, as well as time of joy and happiness she has been able to express her feelings through her poetry.
Education
Ruby did not finish High School with her peers, but in testament to her determination she resumed her education as an adult and was awarded her General Education Diploma in 1976. Ruby also attended some undergraduate classes at the University of Tyler in Longview, Texas but she continues to believe that her life’s experiences are her best education.показать меньше
