This precious lady & her Watson/Allsbrook family have been a huge part of my life! Her Mom, Ada was my 1st SS teacher in Lowland. Ruby & David were our Youth Leaders when Capital City CoC was started in 1959. They carried 3 teenage girls to all the Youth Rallys, Camp Banquets, Gospel Sings & RBC Rallys in Eastern NC. I babysat their kids & when I had kids, Ruby kept the baby while I was having more babies. So thankful to have Ruby & as my 2nd Mom!
