Ruby Jannette Hamby, a lifelong resident of Talladega, Alabama, was born on November 22, 1950, and entered her eternal rest on September 24, 2025, at RMC Hospital in Anniston, Alabama.

Ruby dedicated much of her working life to the Alabama Industries for the Deaf and Blind, where she faithfully assembled supplies for the Armed Forces. She retired in 1995, leaving behind a legacy of hard work and service.

Blessed with a beautiful singing voice, Ruby used her gift to glorify the Lord, sharing solos and lifting her voice in the church choir, especially during the Christmas season. She was a devoted and longtime member of the Bible Methodist Church of Talladega, where her presence and music touched many hearts.

Ruby is survived by her loving daughter, Melissa Hamby O’Bryant, who was her joy and constant companion.

Her warmth, faith, and song will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
