Ruby W. Fox

Ruby W. Fox, age 85, of Old Fort, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Saturday, May 21, 2022. She was a member of Victory House of Prayer in Athens. Ruby enjoyed old cars with her late husband, Leon. She was a true animal lover; especially to her dog Lacey and her grand-dog Rocky. Above all, Ruby loved her family.
