Ruby Johnson Stull, 95, entered the gates of Heaven on Sunday, May 1, 2022. She leaves behind her daughter, Paula Stull, her sister, Louise Humphries, a number of nieces and nephews and many extended family members, cherished friends, and her loving, caring, Brian Center family. Ruby is preceded in death by her husband of 52 years, Harvey Lee Stull, her first husband Harold Johnson and their son, Larry Wayne Johnson Stull. She is also preceded in death by her parents, Cora and Ralph Stull, sisters, Gladys Humphreys and Hallie Rose and brothers, Melvin Stull and Kenneth Stull. Ruby's love of life was caring for others and she lived the life she loved. She never missed a PTA meeting for her son or daughter. She was very active in their school and athletic activities. She was an election worker for most of her life. After she lost her husband Harvey, Ruby became a volunteer at the Brian Center. She also volunteered as a reading and math mentor at Mountain View Elementary School where she was affectionately known as Miss Ruby. She loved children and always wanted the best for them. She never missed a chance to help out at her churches including communion preparation, Sunday School activities, and Vacation Bible School. Ruby loved to socialize. She loved her friends who became like family members. She loved fixing family dinners for get togethers. She never missed a chance to enjoy life. She loved to dance and is now dancing in heaven with Harvey, hugging Larry and happy to be with all her loved ones. Per Ruby's wishes, her earthly body has been cremated and will be interred with her beloved Harvey. A Celebration of Ruby's life will be Saturday, May 21 at Arritts Funeral Home. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service with the service following at 2:00. The burial will follow at Alleghany Memorial Park. In lieu of food or flowers, please donate to a local food bank or a local animal shelter.

I knew Evan through the EB community as we both suffer from this disease. I used to love playing Fortnite with him especially because he was so good at it. It was amazing to know him, and I am going to miss those times. He touched my whole family even though we live far away in Massachusetts. We are all thinking of your family in this hard time.

As I watched this young man grow from a toddler when you guys moved in beside me, I was simply amazed at the heart and can do in him. I loved seeing him enjoy everyday adventures that most children take for granted, swinging on a swing, playing in the snow, play with his trucks in the gravel and sliding on waterslide between our houses. It is not going to be the same on the drive without him. Many prayers and much love to you and the girls.

Many thoughts are with you Christina and his sisters. I know your hearts are so heavy right now but we know dear Evan is free of the horrific pain he lived with all his life. He was such a strong boy and I know his tired little body is now at peace. God be with you all and comfort you during this difficult time. He was so special to so many people.

Dad (Leonard) and (Mom) Phoebe with us four children (Carol, Kay, Wilson and Barbara lived beside (Uncle Abe and His wife Trudy, with their four children John, Alvin, Lorraine, and Gradey. Many years we all had the best fun and wonderful memories of wonderful country living and mountain air. My best memories of Uncle Abe “ was come Spring to plow the garden. As a young girl, I always wondered how the heck did he keep that big work horse from running off with him when, plowing the garden. That big work horse practically ran with him. Uncle Abe had the most wonderful garden each summer and took great care to tend to the garden and always shared with us. I will always remember Uncle Abe stood by our Family when ( Dad) Leonard passed. We were very grateful for that. Uncle Abe, now there is a (Bountiful Garden) in Heaven that is waiting for you and all those passed before you. Uncle Abe your hard work here on earth is done. You have been a Wonderful Servant unto our Lord. May you Rest In Peace. You will be missed. Kay & Eddie Long.

Uncle Abe was always one of my favorite people. I can hear him say "mercy" like it was yesterday. I haven't seen him since probably when my daddy died in 2014. Rest easy and say hello to everyone for us.
