Ruby was born on April 8, 1930, in Norway Township of Fillmore County to Ole and Nilla (Kinneberg) Tudahl. She attended country school at Highland Prairie and was a 1948 graduate of Peterson High School.

Her family was very close. Ruby loved to cook for her friends and family and always made sure to have special cookies for her nieces when they visited. When she and her sisters would come home to Peterson, Ruby would always stay in the same room of the Wenneson B & B.
She is survived by her extended family.
She was preceded in death by her parents; and seven siblings: Norman, who died in infancy, Olga, Norman, Linda, Leland, Viola and Betty.
