She was born April 12, 1958, in Salmon, Idaho, to Edward Wayne Jones Sr. “Poncho” and Laura Mae Wooley Jones. The family moved to Parker where she attended Parker Elementary, St. Anthony Junior High, and St. Anthony High School. She spent most of her life in the Eastern Idaho area and called Idaho Falls home. She had three children, Sherry, Johnny, and Billie Jo. Her soul mate for 27 years was Harry Jess Burke. It was through “devoted love” and devotion to their lives that even through some really tough times their hearts and love were only for each other. She was a devoted soul mate, mother, grandmother, and friend. She had many work experiences from potato plants to housekeeping. Ruby enjoyed working in her yard growing flowers, and was especially proud of her cherry tomato plants. She also enjoyed decorating, loved colors, and was a collector of poetry, both hers and others. Her family was #1 in her life, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren, and she loved spending time with them.
