Ruby C. Prevost, 91, passed away in Albuquerque, NM September 10, 2024. Ruby was born in Leadville, Colorado January 10, 1933. Shortly after her birth her family moved to Point Pleasant, West Virginia where she grew up on the banks of the Ohio River. In an effort to help with her mother's tuberculosis, the family moved to Silver City, NM in 1945. After graduating from high school, she met and married Bob Beck and spent a short time in California while he was in the Navy.

Once her children started school, Ruby enrolled at Western New Mexico University and got an education degree. She taught school for many years at Hurley Elementary School sometimes taking her grandchildren to school with her; they have fond memories of those days. In 1976, she married Fred Prevost. Once Fred retired from Kennecott, they did lots of travelling with him taking her to many of the enchanting places he had visited as a young man.

Ruby is survived by her and Bob's children, Donna (Regor) Saulsberry of Datil, NM, Mark Kevin Beck of Silver City and Fred's son Guy (Merideth) Prevost of Albuquerque along with several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents Richard G. and Opal Cobb; her sisters Irene Scholl, Patricia Stevens, and Sandra Moore; her infant son Richard Beck, her husband Fred Prevost, and her friend Jerry Campbell.

Ruby will be buried at the Masonic Cemetery in Silver City next to Fred. The family plans a memorial service at a later date.
