We loved Ruby. So sorry to hear of her passing from my mother Delores. My father and I used to fight over the awesome pickles she used to give to us. No one could jar pickles like she could. What a wonderful person to be around. She will be missed.

Denise, Shirley and Ron just want you to know I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. What a great gal she was, you can be proud to have called her Mom, I will miss her dropping in at the Green house in Belfield to show us her skills. She was fun to watch transplanting plants she had a special touch.

I was saddened to hear of Ruby’s passing. I remember those days when my mother and I stayed at Uncle Daves. My fondest memories were of spending long summer days riding horseback with Denise, Ronny, and “sometimes” Shirley! I still remember some of the shenanigans we pulled during branding! Ruby always welcomed me into the fold and I was not exempt from doing some of the chores she required from her children! Ruby was no stranger to hard work as she toiled in her garden, milked cows, canned, sewed, and attempted to “manage” three spirited kids! I loved spending time at Chernenkos and I’m grateful that I never drove into the creek at the bottom of the hill leading to her house! I have many wonderful memories of life in the beautiful Badlands and the opportunity to spend time with the Chernenkos!
My condolences to Denise, Ronny, Shirley and your families.
Love, Linda ????

Ruby was an amazing lady. I remember us going there as kids when we butchered. Sleeping on a pile of coats and playing cards to all hours of the morning. Yes her pickles were amazing. She will be missed!!!

What great memories in this beautiful remembrance of Ruby. It has been a bittersweet stroll down memory lane remembering the many hours spent learning, doing and playing with Ruby when I was young. Having your family as neighbors meant more than you'll ever know.

A candle burns today in honor and support of your family during this transition. Blessings to each of you and prayers for Ruby's peaceful return home.
