Ruby Simmons 8/28/1927-10/1/2013. Ruby Simmons, ""MomMom"" was born in Kings Mountain, NC to the late Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Sellers Kiser. She was a graduate of Tryon High School and Appalachian State Teacher's College where she received a degree in Home Economics. Ruby worked for the N.C. Extension Service in Marion, N.C. as an assistant Home Agent. She later worked as a Docent in Old Salem. Her proudest work was that of wife, mother and grandmother. MomMom cherished the love of family and friends, the beauty of nature and a quiet reverence for everyday miracles. ""Miss Ruby"" could be found most often with a sewing needle in her hand creating something beautiful for those she loved, never expecting anything in return. She was an expert quilter and a member of the N.C. Quilter's Guild for many years. She volunteered for Meals on Wheels for more than 30 consecutive years. She was preceded in death by her parents and a brother, Ray Kiser.
