Selmon Truette Rogers, who passed away in 2013; son, Gary Stephen Rogers; great-grandson, Andrew Poplin; sister, Betty Carnes; and brother, D. F. Throneburg. Ruby was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and woman of deep and abiding faith. Fiercely loyal to both her family and her church, she lived her life with a servant's heart and found great joy in caring for others. As a pastor's wife, she faithfully served alongside her husband and embraced the many opportunities that came with a life of ministry. Prayer was at the heart of Ruby's daily life. A true prayer warrior, she faithfully prayed for her family each day and sought to surround those she loved with prayer. She read her Bible daily and spent time writing in her journal, leaving behind a beautiful reflection of the faith that guided her throughout her life. Ruby also expressed her love through acts of service, especially in her own home. She loved cooking for her family and treasured the time spent gathered together. She was persistent in living life well, generous with her love, and always willing to serve wherever she was needed. Her family will remember a wonderful mother whose devotion to those she loved was unwavering and whose faith was evident in the way she lived each day. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Samaritan's Purse, Gideons International, or Plyler Baptist Church, 25958 Austin Road, Albemarle, NC 28001. Ruby leaves behind a legacy not measured simply by the years she lived, but by the lives she touched, the prayers she faithfully offered, and the love she so freely gave. Her family finds comfort in knowing that the faith she carried throughout her life has now become sight, and that a faithful servant has been welcomed home.
