I remember my Aunt Rubes as a very strong matriarch, a creative mother who worked hard for her husband and children's welfare. She was tough, knew how to stretch a dollar to provide a good meal and was a talented seamstress making clothes and curtains, drapes, etc..
I always enjoyed visiting her and my cousins, playing "football" with stuffed socks in the veranda (gallery), stubbing bare toes a lot but always having a good time; also picnicking on the beach with Aunt Ruby and the Brooker kids, eating some of their boiled crabs or sea-eggs and rice.
I also remember her and Uncle Sydney having a great relationship, out-spoken and honest and obviously loving their family. She will be missed and remembered by many I am sure. My condolences to all the family. Bert
