Ruby Alice Reynolds

Ruby Alice Reynolds, 80, of Lubbock, Texas, went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on March 11, 2026.

Born on April 3, 1945, in Corsicana, Texas, to Ellis Charles and Olga Mae Reynolds, Ruby spent most of her life in Nacogdoches. She owned and operated Talk of the Country Hair Salon for more than 40 years. What began as a business grew into a warm gathering place where friendships were formed and where laughter and tears were shared freely.

A devoted member of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, Ruby founded the WD-40 group—Women Divorced and Widowed over 40. For 15 years the group met faithfully, offering friendship, encouragement, and fellowship to women in the community. In recognition of her years of service and dedication, February 1, 2018, was declared “Ruby Reynolds Day” in Nacogdoches. She was known for her servant’s heart, her deep faith, and her remarkable ability to make others feel loved and never alone.

Ruby was preceded in death by her parents and her brothers, Ronald Reynolds and Wesley Reynolds. She is survived by her sister, Sarah (Bill) of Lubbock, Texas; her brother, Ellis (Carolyn) Reynolds of Searcy, Arkansas; Rebecca Reynolds of Weatherford, Texas; her dear childhood friend, Dorothy Kelley of Nacogdoches, Texas; and many beloved nieces and nephews who will carry her kindness and joyful spirit in their hearts.
