RUBY MAE TROTTER

Ruby Mae Trotter, a gentle spirit who took her final breath on July 12, 2025, leaving behind a legacy woven with love, laughter, and enduring memories. Born on February 15, 1935, in Winona, Mississippi, Ruby blossomed into a woman of serene grace, characterized by her quiet demeanor and a heart brimming with compassion.

In her roles as a mother and grandmother, Ruby was most proud of her children and grandchildren, who were the lights of her life. She poured her warmth and affection into her family, instilling in them the values of kindness and the importance of cherishing one another. Her caring nature endeared her to all, creating bonds that will long outlast her earthly presence.

A lover of life’s simplest pleasures, Ruby found delight in gardening, where she nurtured not just plants but also the spirits of those around her. Her cooking was an art form; each dish a testament to her ability to bring family together, often accompanied by her cherished tradition of dining out, which resulted in joyous gatherings where stories were shared and memories made. Shopping provided her with moments of excitement, while her love for ice cream remained a constant delight—a sweet reminder that life should always leave room for joy.

Ruby's tranquil spirit radiated through her personality; she was quite, soft spoken, and extraordinarily family oriented. Those who knew her could attest to the haven of warmth that was created simply by her presence. They sought her counsel, shared laughter over meals, and located solace in her embrace. Now, her loved ones are left to honor her memory and the indelible impression she made on their lives.

As Ruby made her journey from this world in Garland, Texas, her remembrance will be celebrated at the Golden Gate Funeral Home in Dallas, where friends and family can gather to pay their last respects. A viewing will be held on July 25, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM, followed by her funeral service on July 26, commencing at 11:00 AM in the John Chapel.

Through every scoop of ice cream savored, every flower that blooms in the garden, and every meal shared, Ruby Mae Trotter will live on in the hearts of those who loved her, a beautiful reminder that the simplest joys are often the most profound.
