Ruby Imogene Arnold
Ruby Imogene (Crawford) Arnold, 96, passed peacefully early Tuesday morning, June 29, 2021, surrounded by her family at her daughter’s home in Garden City, Kansas.

She married Robert Sheridan “Bob” Arnold at the Rolla United Methodist Church on July 5th, 1943. Robert passed away on September 15, 1997. Ruby and Bob had a sense of adventure! They were passionate about traveling to all fifty states and parts of Canada on their Honda Gold Wing motorcycle, often traveling alone or with friends from a local Christian motorcycle club. Ruby and Bob liked spending time in Branson attending gospel music events during the fall or Christmas seasons. After fifty years of marriage they celebrated with a vow renewal in Branson. Ruby liked to be creative with her hands by knitting or crocheting special gifts for her family.
