Ruby was born on August 31, 1936, in Carlton, Texas, the daughter of the late R.C. Cook and Ruby Howerton Cook. She graduated from Haskell High School in 1956. In 1957, she married Lloyd Marcos Hunt, who preceded her in death in 1965. Following his passing, she devoted herself to raising their two children on her own. She later married Dan Franklin Anderson on June 7, 1980. He also preceded her in death in 2018. She was a member of the Primitive Baptist Church in Rule.

Throughout her life, Ruby worked in several roles she truly loved. As a teenager, she ran the movie theater booth in Haskell, later becoming a telephone switchboard operator. She went on to serve as a CNA for many years at Teakwood Manor in Stamford, caring for others with the same compassion she carried throughout her life. Ruby then became a house parent at Girls Town USA, a role she deeply cherished, and proudly retired from in 1996.

Ruby enjoyed sewing, but her greatest joy came from her family. She loved spending time with her grandchildren and was proud to have raised two of her great- grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, two husbands; son, Bobby Hunt; sisters, Amy Sorrells, Wanda Stocks and brother, Rayburn Cook.
