    • Biography


       


      Ruby was born in Knox County, Texas, and her family were among early settlers in the McAlister community of Quay County, New Mexico Territory. She married Mack Snider, son of neighbors, and they settled on a farm in the nearby community of House. Ruby worked side by side with Mack in the field and caring for their livestock. She raised baby chickens as her own project. They prospered and in time built a large farmhouse where they raised their three children. She taught Sunday School at the House Baptist Church, was known for her organization both in her house and operation of the farm. She was an excellent cook and is remembered by her grandchildren for her special chocolate treats created just for them. After the death of Mack, Ruby moved to Alamogordo, New Mexico, where her daughters and families lived. She worked in a daughter's store, traveled with Senior Citizens (one trip to Europe) and was active in the First Baptist Church. Ruby was sitting by her door with her treats waiting for the Halloween Trick or Treaters when her heart stopped. She was found by her sons-in-law the next morning, there was a slight smile on her face. She had lived two rich, full lives, one as a farm wife with her Mack and one on her own with family and friends. She is remembered with great affection - this Aunt Ruby.
