Ruby Keller, 87 passed away on April 18, 2021 in Holyoke.  Ruby was born in Smithville, Tennessee on January 7, 1934. She is survived by her brothers Gary and Larry Pedigo, her sister Teresa, Son Douglas M. Keller, grandchildren Felicia Hubacz, Erick Keller, and Daniel Keller, great grandchildren Cody Keller, Ava Laine Keller, Brouche and Laydien Domingez, and was predeceased by her husband Donald E. Keller Sr. and her son Donald E. Keller Jr. Ruby worked her way up to chief manager and had retired from Mount Holyoke College Dining Services after almost 30 years of service. She was a loving and devoted wife and mother who spent most of her time with family whether it was cooking, walking, biking or just sitting on the car port chatting.  She had endless stories of her youth, stealing a car, hanging with her girlfriends, or assisting her dad with moonshining activities. She was so charismatic that many friends would call her mom or "mema" as her grandchildren called her.  She was a strong, independent, and feisty woman who wasn't afraid to speak her mind. She enjoyed classic country music and especially loved Patsy Cline. She took pleasure with occasional trips to the casino and was quite the card shark when it came to a game of poker.  She will forever live on through those that knew and loved her and will be greatly missed. Visiting hours will be held on Thursday, April 22, from 4 to 6 pm at Curran O'Brien Funeral Home, 33 Lamb St, South Hadley, MA. Covid-19 rules will be strictly enforced. The Funeral will be held on Friday, April 23, at Massachusetts Veterans' Memorial Cemetery in Agawam and will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her name to the Granby Senior Center, 10 W State St, Granby, MA 01033.
