Bio

Ruby Marie Spacek of Summersville, Missouri left us to be with the Lord, Sunday, July 28th, 2013. Ruby was born to John & Lydie Goodin on June 25, 1928 making her age at death, 85 years old. Ruby was preceded in death by her husband, Milton Eric Spacek. During their 49 years of marriage, Ruby and Milton had 2 children. Milton and Ruby had the precious gift of 2 grandchildren. Rick added 3 more grandchildren to the blessing. Ruby was then further blessed by the addition of 10 great grandchildren, also had a host of beloved nieces and nephews that all knew that love and potential memories were always readily available in their home. Ruby had 4 sisters and 3 brothers. She was preceded in death by Thomas Goodin, Irene Foshe, John Goodin, and Viola Leek. Throughout their lives they remained very close and in almost constant contact living out a great example of what family can mean. Ruby accepted the Lord as her savior in the summer of 1947 on a Wednesday night along side her sister Mary. The Lord blessed her with a good life. In Ruby's early years she graduated from high school and went on to receive her teaching certificate. She taught in a 1 room school until she married her sweetheart. Milton and Ruby were married on April 5, 1947 in the pastor's home with Brother in law Mike and his wife Peg as witnesses. They made their first home in Pilot Rock, Oregon, but they soon returned to Summersville where they lived in the same home on hwy 17 until Milton's death. Grandma enjoyed quilting professionally from this home. Milton assisted her with the quilting business after he retired from the lumber business. Milton and Ruby lived by example a life filled with Christ by being active at Oakside Community Church. Here they helped cultivate a family built on Godly principles. They gave their children a strong foundation and helped them establish their own relationships with Christ . A focus on a faith based life has been passed down through their children and grandchildren. Ruby and Milton created a Spacek family that is knit together with a love of Jesus, caring attitudes and a spirit of generosity. There is no shortage of great memories: time spent drinking an ever available glass of lemonade, cross stitching, sewing, learning the fine art of quilt making, gardening, making donuts or the world's greatest chocolate chip cookies among Ruby's children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Grandma was a room mother for both her kids years of school. Making doughnuts and sweetrolls for parties. She also had snacks ready for sports games. Her grandkids all remember that grandma made the best waffles and even as they grew into adulthood insisted on cutting them into perfect yummy little squares filled with love. She also regularly let the grandkids have 1 cookie before supper. She also took time to braid all the granddaughters and their friends hair for the sports teams and make them spaghetti before their big games. Ruby gave her family flavorful memories. Around Summersville there was a very special part of Ruby's family- a group of ladies known as "the sisters". These ladies were usually found together for life's everyday and special events. They leaned on each other and lived life truly together. Celebrating life's daily and special events as solid sisters. Though distance separated them, they always kept their heart's in touch with all their siblings with faithful effort driven by love for each other. These memories are part of a beautiful tribute to a great woman's life and the everlasting impression she left on those lucky enough to have a relationship with her, we will miss her, and will always draw on the kindness she left us with and the love we always knew she had for us. Services will be held Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 11:00 Am at Oakside Church. Visitation will be at Bradford Funeral Home Monday evening from 5:30 to 8 PM. Interment will be in Oakside Cemetery under the care of Bradford Funeral Home.
