She married Leo Daniel Reid on September 29, 1956, and together, they had four children: David Reid, Lori Reid, Lorna Reid, and Laura Reid.

Ruby endured the pain and sorrow of losing many loved ones in her lifetime, including her husband, Leo Reid, who passed December 15, 1983, after 27 years of marriage. She was also preceded in death by her parents, Leonard and Martha “Marie” (Prince) Pearson; mother-in-law, Ruth Nervesta (McKinney) Reid; father-in-law, Larkin Junius Reid; her siblings, Rose (Pearson) Hanson, Ray Pearson, Helen (Pearson) McLain, Joyce (Pearson) Ray, Jack Pearson, Jerry Pearson; and two of her children, Lori Reid and Lorna Reid.

“Ruby Reid, leaving a legacy of love and service.”

She was survived by her son, David Reid, her daughter, Laura Reid, and she is the proud grandmother of ten living grandchildren, eighteen great grandchildren, and one on the way.

Ruby was a homemaker for many years while raising her children. After her husband passed away, she worked for a short time at Deseret Industries, then got a job working for Target, where she worked for several years until she retired to help take care of her sister, Rose, who passed away a few years later. Ruby spent the rest of her retirement caring for loved ones, sharing her love, and blessing those lucky enough to call her family.

Ruby leaves a legacy of love and service. She remembered every family member’s birthday - from grandchildren, to great nieces and nephews, and always took the time to make them feel special. She had a great love for her family - not only her parents, siblings, and children, but also for her grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews too. She will truly be missed, and we are all so blessed to have been part of her mortal journey on this Earth.
