Ruby Faye Coble

Ruby Faye Coble, 83, of Mansfield, Texas, passed away on Saturday, September 8, 2018, surrounded by the family whom she dearly loved.

Ruby was born October 10, 1934 in Fort Worth, TX, to Sam and Allene Tye. On June 21, 1952 she married the love of her life, Harry Doyle Coble. Ruby and Doyle met on a blind date while Doyle was enlisted in the Navy and they began a sweet, and dedicated love story that lasted 66 years.

Ruby and Doyle moved to Mansfield, TX in 1965, where they raised their five children. She was a devoted and loving mother that guided and encouraged and loved completely and unconditionally. Her home was warm and welcoming to family and friends, especially as they enjoyed her apple cobbler or homemade pickles.

After her children all began school, Ruby began her career with Mansfield ISD. She worked as a librarian and nurse’s aide in the Mansfield schools from 1965 until her retirement in 1993. In their retirement, Ruby and Doyle and their beloved dog, Luke, traveled throughout the United States in their RV. After several years of traveling, they settled back in Mansfield and embraced their role as Nanny and PawPaw. Time with her grandchildren was a treasured part of her life.

Ruby was an active member of the St. Jude Catholic Church in Mansfield where she and Doyle sang in the choir, and served in many other capacities. Her passion for benevolence led her to outreach and support for the organization Mothers and Unborn Baby Care. https://www.fvmubc.org/
