The family will receive friends on Wednesday, January 11, 2023, from 10:00 AM until 12:00 PM at Coleman Funeral Home of Oxford. The funeral service celebrating her life will take place on Wednesday, January 11, 2023, at 12:00 PM in the chapel of Coleman Funeral Home. Ruby graced this world with her presence on the winter day of December 29, 1945, as daughter to the late Cardis Franklin Sparks and Birdie Cladie Thweatt Sparks. She was best known for her strong character and integrity. Ruby valued the tried and true morals of being up front and honest with anyone she met, leaving no room for confusion on where one stood with her. Aside from her character, she was also known for her bond with family no matter how close or how distant the relation. While she dearly loved her children, her grandchildren held a special place in her heart and she cherished watching them grow. Ruby was an active lady who found joy in spending time in the great outdoors where she not only observed the works of her creator but also tended to them. Although she was a woman of beauty and poise, Ruby was not afraid to get her hands dirty while tending to her garden, canning goods, or baiting a hook on a fishing adventure. She did not simply pass away, Ruby held the cure to death in her soul, a relationship with her Savior. She leaves behind a loving family to continue walking down the path of life in her absence: husband, Charles Maples of Oxford; three daughters: Lisa (Ricky) Henry of Oxford; Cynthia (Greg) Frye of Oxford; Sherry Callahand of Oxford; one son, Jeff (Kim) Brewer of Oxford; nine grandchildren: Michael Henry of Oxford; Morgan (Laney) Henry of Oxford; Chance Kesler of Oxford; Kelsey Kesler of Oxford; Mac Wardlaw of Pontotoc; Britney Wardlaw of Oxford; Hunter ( Elizabeth) Brewer of Oxford; Josh Brewer of Oxford; Cody (Jessica) Brewer of Batesville; seven great grandchildren: Ellie Jo Henry of Oxford; Ruby Henry of Oxford; Tiger Henry of Oxford; Easton Henry of Oxford; Knox Henry of Oxford; River Wardlaw of Pontotoc; Ashlyn Brewer; one sister; host of nieces, nephews, and other extended family members. Ruby was preceded in death by her parents, Cardis Franklin Sparks and Birdie Cladie Thweatt Sparks; one sister; seven brothers. The staff at Coleman Funeral Home of Oxford is honored to serve the family as they walk through this season of loss. Online condolences may be left on her Tribute Wall at www.colemanfuneralhome.com.
