Ruby Pendley Obituary
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Alton D. Pendley, her parents, Mervin and Myrtle Drake Beliles, her son Wilbur Pendley, her granddaughter Teresa Wells, her great-granddaughter Paisleigh Johnson, her daugheter-in-laws Lucy and Sudie Pendley, her sons-in-law Harold Gill and James Johnson, her brothers Jay and Paul Belilies, and her sister Florine Rhew.
Her legacy continues through her surviving children, Burbon Pendley, Linda Johnson, and Alice Gill, all of Morgantown, KY. Ruby's spirit will forever be cherished by her six grandchildren, Gorman Pendley (Kathy) of Morgantown, KY, Jeffrey Pendley (Lisa) of Morgantown, KY, Byron Pendley (Sarah) of Beaver Dam, KY, Tammie Cardwell (Ronnie), Roger Gill (Sandra), and Lisa Hale all of Morgantown, KY, as well as her twelve great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren. Numerous nieces, nephews, and her devoted caregivers, Trinity Martin and Madison Nelson, also survive her.
Ruby's life was a testament to her enduring faith, as the oldest member of the Bethel Missionary Baptist Church. Her professional life was marked by 26 years of dedicated work at Kanes, from which she retired. Her interests were a reflection of her love for the simple pleasures in life. She enjoyed sewing, quilting, working in her yard, gardening, freezing and canning her vegetables.
