Ruby E. Pumphrey, 82, of Weston went to be with her Lord and Savior on February 4, 2020 at Ruby Memorial Hospital of Morgantown due to an extended illness with her granddaughter Gwen by her side. She was born in Lewis County on June 7, 1937: daughter of the late Mae E. Riffle Donaldson and Michael E. Donaldson.
