October 9, 1945 - May 3, 2008

Mrs. Ruby Sewell, age 62, of Monrovia, IN, formerly of Somerset, departed this life on Saturday, May 3, 2008 at her residence in Indiana.

She was born on October 9, 1945 in Somerset, KY to Thelma Wells Watkins and the late Rayford Speaks.

Having been a devoted member of the Gasburg Baptist Church in Mooresville, IN, Ruby had a strong faith and love for the Lord. She enjoyed gardening, crocheting, playing piano, and singing. In addition, she wrote poetry and was proud to have had one of her poems published. It is fair to say she was a selfless woman, always doing for others.

Sewell, whom she married on October 21, 1961; her mother and stepfather, Thelma Wells (and Edwin)Watkins of Somerset; two sons, James Leonard Sewell of Martinsville, IN and Jeffery Paul (and Jennifer) Sewell of Indianapolis, IN; a daughter, Tamera Kay Sewell of Bronston, KY; a brother, Cleo Speaks of Somerset; three sisters, Faustine Whitaker of Somerset, Beulah Turner of Somerset, and Lorraine Keith of Bronston, KY; and her grandchildren, Casey James and Tara Ranee Sewell of Mooresville, IN, Malea Christine Bay of Pheonix, AZ, and Sophie Bree Sewell of Indianapolis, IN.

Preceding her in death were her father, Rayford Speaks and a brother, Fayne Speaks.
