IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Ruby
Cabe
May 6, 1935 – September 24, 2024
Obituary
Ruby J. Cabe, age 89, of Franklin, gained her eternal reward on the morning of Tuesday, September 24, 2024 while she was surrounded by her loving family.
Ruby was born in Jackson County to the late James Leonard Jones and Ethel Fox Jones. She was a faithful and longtime member of Prentiss Church of God where she served in multiple facets through the years.
Living her life as the hands and feet of Jesus, Ruby never met a stranger and she never missed an opportunity to share His love for others.
In recent years, Ruby devoted much of her time to Teen Challenge, now known as Men's Challenge of the Smokies. She quickly became known as "Grandma" and "MaMaw" to the young men as she ministered to them as she fed their stomachs and their souls.
Ruby's entire essence was unique and no one ever forgot being in her presence.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Charlie Cabe; sisters, Helen Wooten, Ann Crow, Evelyn Sheffield, Christine Swanson, and Geneva Humphrey; and brothers, James Leonard Jones, Jr., Alex Jones, and Grover Jones.
She is survived by her four children, David Cabe (Beatrice), Steven Cabe (Annette), Amelia Cabe Brackett(widowed), and Daniel Cabe (Sandy); two sisters, Mildred Conner and Bessie Cogdill; nine grandchildren; four great grandchildren; one great-great grandchild; and many nieces and nephews.
The family will receive friends from 12noon until 1:45 PM Saturday, September 28th at Macon Funeral Home.
A celebration of Ruby's life and service to others will take place at 2:00 P.M. Saturday in the chapel with her friend, Reverend Don Moffitt officiating. Interment will follow in Woodlawn Cemetery where she will be laid to rest next to her husband. Honored to serve as pallbearers will be her sons and grandsons.
Even though Ruby loved flowers, she loved spreading the love of Jesus more. The family asks that memorials be directed to Men's Challenge of the Smokies.
