Ruby Marie Bash Jenkins passed away at 7:58 a.m., Wednesday, July 23, 2014, at Sharon Lane Nursing Center in Shawnee, Johnson County, Kansas. She had been a resident of that facility for a little over a year. She was 94 years and 3 (sic) [4] months of age.

Ruby was born on Tuesday, March 23, 1920, at Baxter Springs, Cherokee County, Kansas. She was the 4th of 10 children born to Albert Leroy and Amy Emma Vanatta Bash.

On October 25, 1937, in Galena, Ks., she and Joseph Frederick Jenkins were united in marriage. He preceded her in death on Monday, October 21, 1974.

Ruby was of the Christian faith. She was many things in her life. She was a wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was very involved in her daughter's education and school activities. She participated in PTA, school dinners, carnivals and school trips (even before her children were in school). She made almost all of the crepe-paper costumes for two all school operettas. She had many hobbies, one of them being genealogy. She had amassed a collection of over 35,000 obituaries from around the four states. She enjoyed helping others with their family ancestry and accompanied one of her daughters many times to the cemeteries helping transcribe the head-stones for genealogy and history purposes.

Ruby was preceded in death by her husband, parents, five sisters: Phyllis R. Wyatt, Alberta K. Mills, E. Nadine Hairgrove, Virginia M. Sturgeon and Nora A. Ellsworth; one brother, Leslie L. Bash.

She is survived by two daughters: Orlena Marie (Jennings) Bryant of Shawnee, Ks., and Peggy Jean Kreiger of Crestline, Ks.; two grandsons, Jerry J. Bryant of Shawnee, Ks., and William J. Bryant of Wesley Chapel, Fl.; one granddaughter, Starla E. (Bruce) Hodges of Galena, Ks.; two great-grandsons, Dakota J. and Ethan W. Turner of Galena, Ks.; three brothers, Leroy (Roy) A. Bash of Missouri City, Tx., James L. Bash of Galena, Ks., Clayton E. Bash of Humble, Tx.; one nephew from the Jenkins ancestry, Bob Jenkins, Galena, Ks. and several other nephews, nieces and cousins. Her presence here on earth will surely be missed but she will always remain in our hearts.

Graveside services will be at 10:00 am, Friday, July 25, 2014 at Lowell Cemetery, Lowell, Kansas. Pastor Audie Tash will officiate.

Arrangements are under the direction of Derfelt Funeral Home of Galena, Ks.

Song lyrics
(Stuart Hamblen)

The chimes of time ring out the news
Another day is through
Some one slipped and fell
Was that someone you?

You may have longed for added strength
Your courage to renew
Do not be disheartened
I have news for you.

Chorus:
It is no secret what God can do
What he has done for others
He'll do for you
With arms wide open
He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do.

There is no night, for in His light
You'll never walk alone
You'll always feel at home wherever you may roam
There is no power can conquer you
While God is on your side
Take Him at His promise
Don't run away and hide.

Chorus:
It is no secret what God can do
What he has done for others
He'll do for you
With arms wide open
He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do.

It is no secret what God can do...
