Born on March 15, 1932, in Clark County, Alabama, Rubye lived a long and fulfilling life rooted in faith, family, and service to others. A lifelong resident of Alabama and a devoted member of the Baptist church, Rubye’s unwavering faith was the cornerstone of her life. She was an active participant in her congregation throughout her years and exemplified a true Christian spirit in all she did. Her presence at church was constant and comforting—a reflection of her deep commitment to her beliefs and community. Rubye dedicated many decades of her life to her work as a seamstress at Vanity Fair. Her talent with needle and thread was unmatched; she was known for her flawless craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. There was truly nothing she could not create with fabric—her beautiful quilts were treasured works of art that adorned homes with warmth and pride. Her sewing was not just a profession but a heartfelt expression of love that touched many lives. Beyond her professional accomplishments, Rubye’s greatest joy came from being surrounded by family. Though small in stature, she possessed a boundless heart full of love and generosity. She gave selflessly to those around her and had an uncanny ability to remember the little things that made each person feel special. Whether it was through a kind word, a thoughtful gesture, or one of her famous baked goods—tea cake cookies, strawberry cake, or Mississippi Mud—Rubye made every gathering feel like home. She embraced the role of second mother and grandmother to many nieces and nephews across generations. Her nurturing spirit left an indelible mark on countless lives. Family meant everything to Rubye; she loved being involved in every aspect of their lives and brought energy and enthusiasm wherever she went. Rubye was preceded in death by her beloved husband Earle J. Pysher; her parents William Harper and Orbie Counselman Harper; sisters Foula Purvis, Orbie Iola Harper, and Shirley Smith; and brothers Arvie Harper, Elvin Harper, and Aubrey Harper. She is survived by her sister Pauline Smyly of Utah; along with numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, and great-great-nieces and nephews who will carry forward the legacy of love she so generously shared. Rubye’s sweet spirit touched everyone who knew her. She will be remembered for her strength wrapped in gentleness, for the joy she brought into every room, and for the love she gave so freely. May her memory bring comfort to all who were blessed to know her. Rubye's wishes were to not have a service or burial The family will have a graveside service in the summer in her honor
