Ruby Lee Evans

Ruby Lee Evans, a compassionate, supportive, and generous woman, was born to Ruth Evans Deshields and John Jones on January 20, 1967, in Lumpkin, Georgia along with her twin brother who sadly passed away at birth. When Ruby was 6 months old she and her family relocated to Milton, Delaware. On August 28, 2026 Ruby transitioned from this life surrounded by her family in Milford, DE.

Ruby was educated in the Cape Henlopen School District. She exemplified dependability and kindness in the lives of all whom she encountered. Ruby Lee was a devoted caregiver for the last 11 years, dedicating her life to the healthcare field, and her nurturing nature extended far beyond her professional life. She was a cornerstone in her community, known for her generosity and unwavering support. Ruby dedicated her life to Christ on May 16, 2026, under Grace and Love Community Outreach.

Her passion for life was evident in everything she did. Ruby was a true nurturer, not just in her profession, but in her personal life too. Her home was always full of life - brimming with plants she nurtured, filled with the aroma of her cooking, and echoing with the laughter of family and friends she loved to host. Ruby was a legend in her own right in Milton, DE where she lived and was fondly referred to as everyone's go-to person. She was an avid traveler, often journeying to Georgia to spend time with her family. A lover of dance, Ruby Lee was the life of family functions, moving rhythmically to the tunes of joy and celebration. Her love for playing lottery tickets was a testament to her spirit of hope and optimism.
