Ruby Wanda Barbour, age 93, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, passed from this life on Sunday, December 7, 2025, at her home while on hospice care, surrounded by love. She was born on February 2, 1932, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Charley and Lulu Knight.
Ruby was a proud graduate of Webster High School, where she was actively involved in a variety of school activities. On June 4, 1949, she married the love of her life, Earl Barbour, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Together they shared a devoted marriage and were blessed with three children: Joey Barbour, Dee Ann Barbour Strader, and Corey M. Barbour.
Ruby dedicated much of her life to caring for others. She enjoyed working in management at Carl's Coney Island alongside close friends Carl and Maddie Sue. She was also a devoted band supporter and opened her heart and home as a foster parent. Ruby loved sewing and spent countless hours making clothing, jewelry, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces for her family.
An avid bowler, Ruby was a member of several bowling teams and proudly achieved multiple perfect 300-point games-always known for throwing a mean strike. She generously shared her love of the sport as a youth bowling coach, mentoring and encouraging young bowlers for many years.
The Barbour home was a welcoming place where neighborhood children were always invited in, treated like family, and made to feel loved. Ruby was a faithful member of Carbondale Assembly of God, where she and Earl found a close church family and shared a special relationship with Pastor Phil Taylor.
Ruby is survived by her son, Corey M. Barbour and his fiancée, Christy Reynolds, of Tulsa, Oklahoma; her grandson, Byram Strader and his wife, Lyndee, of Perry, Oklahoma; her granddaughter, Deonna Cox and her husband, Kris Cox, of Yale, Oklahoma; four great-grandchildren, Austin Barbour, Carson Barbour, Tabby Sullivan, Charli Cox, & Sebastian Reynolds; and three great-great-grandchildren, Levi Barbour, Justin Hunt, Brylee Reynolds, and London Lynn.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Earl Barbour; her son, Joey Barbour; her daughter, Dee Ann Barbour Strader; her parents, Charley and Lulu Knight; her sister, Jessi Knight; her twin brothers, Jake and Jo Knight; and her brothers, Art Knight and Bob Knight.
A memorial service will be held on December 17, 2025, at Carbondale Assembly of God Church. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery in Tulsa, Oklahoma, beginning at 1:00 p.m., with Reverend Curtis Summers officiating.
