Ruby Elaine Cramer, age 85, of Hudson, passed away on Friday, October 3, 2025, at the home of her son Leon. Born December 7, 1939, to Forest and Geraldine (Roberts) Carmean, Ruby was the heart of the family.
She married the love of her life, Norman Leon Cramer, on April 2, 1955, and they built a life together that grew into generations. Ruby worked for many years at Metalloy Foundry in Hudson, and was known for her dedication and strong work ethic.
To cherish her memory, Ruby leaves her sons: Richard, Daniel, Leon (Ann), and Travis (Cathy); her brother, Dick Carmean; along with generations of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and great-nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, siblings, and one son.
Ruby will be remembered for her love of playing cards, her coffee always in hand, and the joy she found being surrounded by family. Her warmth, humor, and devotion will be cherished forever. As she often said: “Ta’hell with YA.”
In accordance with Ruby’s wishes, no services will be held. Friends can express sympathies to the family online by visiting the tribute wall at www.brownvanhemert.com. Arrangements have been made with the guidance of the Brown-Van Hemert Funeral Home, Addison.
