Ruby Brock was born on
February 15, 1924 in Forest
City, Iowa to Bertha and Ru-
dolph Strand. Her family im-
migrated to the United States
from Norway.
She grew up
in Iowa and
Minnesota
during
the
Depression
and enjoyed
the closeness
she felt in those small, rural
communities. Ruby was an ex-
cellent student with a keen in-
tellect and a superior memory
for detail. As a young adult in
the early 1940s, Ruby moved
with her family to Oregon to
fi nd employment. She lived
in west Salem and worked
in Schreiner’s fi elds, the Del
Monte cannery, as a cashier
and later assistant manager for
Warner Brothers that owned
the Elsinore and Capitol the-
aters, and for the telephone
company.
Ruby met her husband
Howard on a blind date to an
Oregon State University ball.
They were married in 1951,
living briefl y in Medford and
then moving to Grants Pass
where Howard worked in the
state and federal forests. Two
daughters, Janet and Barb, were
born there. As a homemaker,
Ruby excelled at canning,
cooking, sewing, and knitting.
She even upholstered the
living room furniture, at least
twice.
In 1965, the family moved
to Astoria where Howard
taught forestry at Clatsop
Community College. There
Ruby had the opportunity
to begin to pursue her dream
to graduate from college. In
late 1969, when the family
moved to the Salem-Keizer

area, she enrolled at Oregon
College of Education (now
WOU) and graduated with
a degree in Humanities in
1975. She attended Willamette
Law School and was offered
a position as Title Examiner
at Willamette Valley Title
Company, where she worked
until
her
retirement.
After re-
tirement,
Ruby traveled
around
the
western Unit-
ed States and
R. Brock
Canada with
Howard
in
what she called the “tin tent”
and enjoyed spending time
with family. She was married
for 54 years until Howard’s
passing in 2005. In 2008, Ruby
suffered a stroke and moved to
Orchard Heights where she
lived for the past ten years. She
endured many health limita-
tions but continued to offer
kindness to all around her and
was much loved by the resi-
dents and staff.
Ruby was preceded in death
by her husband Howard, sister
Sylvia, brother Raymond,
and son-in-law Nick. She is
survived by her daughters: Janet
(Dee) Carlson and Barb Jones;
along with six grandchildren:
Erika (Keith) McCauley, Justin
(Jessica) Carlson, Christian
Carlson, Rick Jones, Kim
(Frank) Gorgei, and Torrey
(Audra) Jones; plus ten great
grandchildren.
Ruby was one of the
Greatest Generation – a strong
and independent woman
with high ideals who valued
honesty, loyalty and work. She
sacrifi ced her entire lifetime
for her family and will be
greatly missed.
The
family
expresses
appreciation to the staff at
Willamette Valley Hospice
and Prestige Orchard Heights
for their loving care, and to
Virgil T. Golden and Belcrest
Memorial Park for the funeral
arrangements. A celebration
of life will be held at Prestige
