Helen Ruby, 98, passed away February 19, 2022. She was born February 15, 1924 in Beallsville, MD to Agnes Louise (Cooley) and John Henry Sullivan. She was a long-time resident of Silver Spring, MD, and with only an eighth grade education excelled as a manager in a Five and Dime variety store. Helen would fondly remember her younger days with family and friends, and loved to share those memories with you. Helen was a strong independent woman who was beautiful inside and out.

Helen was preceded in death by her husband Carl Samuel Ruby who passed away December 15, 1974, and by five sisters and five brothers. She is survived by several nephews and nieces and numerous great-nephews and great-nieces, and by very special friends Percell and Shelia Boone of New York.
