Leave a tribute for Ruby Hoyle Hutchins.
Miss Ruby and her husband were some of the first to welcome us to Burkemont when we joined in 1981. She always had a smile and was such a sweet spirit. She will be sorely missed.
So sorry for the loss to this family she was a sweet lady delivered meals on wheels to her home Judy Johnson
