Ruby's siblings who she loved dearly are brother Hollis (deceased), sisters Doris Tye (nee Ward), Ella Dalton (nee Robinson) and brother Corey. Anyone who knew Ruby knew of her love of music and the guitar. She saved her money as a child to purchase her own, and wanting to be ever prepared, made a makeshift guitar from a board and twine to learn the chords by heart so when she could finally purchase her guitar she was ready! She never looked back! A guitar has never been far from Ruby's reach her entire life. Ruby married Jerry Nauss in 1957 and being the wife of an Air Force man got used to living in many places. They lived in France, travelled extensively in Europe, returned to Prince Edward Island, Dartmouth and finally Nicholsville. Ruby and Jerry had two children, Brian born in 1958 and Laurie in 1969.
