Ruby Willits Littlepage

January 29, 1937 ~ June 19, 2026

Ruby formed connections with so many people over the years. Through her teaching, her friendships, her curiosity, her love of books, cats, bugs, biology and the endless fascination of the natural world, Ruby encouraged those around her to look a little more closely, ask another question and never stop learning.

Thank you to the extraordinary collection of people, places, creatures, stories and experiences that made up her life.

Thank you for McCall Gardens for helping us arrange Ruby's celebration and life. The recording from this event can be viewed below.
