Funeral services will be Saturday, Feb. 23 at 10 a.m. at Thompson Funeral Home in Powell for Ruby J. Gullion, who died Tuesday, Feb. 19, at New Horizons Care Center in Lovell. She was 82.

She was born Feb. 27, 1925, in Powell to James and Margaret (Marion) Jones. While growing up the family moved many times following her father, who worked road construction. They finally settled in Penrose, where they farmed.

Ruby and Clyde W. Gullion were married Oct. 30, 1941, in Red Lodge, Mont., and they became parents of five children. Ruby's mother died in 1949, and the family moved to the farm and helped raise her brothers and sister. Ruby and Clyde were married 44 years when Clyde died in 1986.

She began working at the Powell Nursing Home in 1956, and in 1977 she went into respiratory therapy. She also did home oxygen for several years. Ruby loved her job and enjoyed taking care of all the residents in the nursing home.

Ruby was a very talented woman. She loved doing many crafts and was always learning something new. She shared her handmade crafts and every friend and family member had at least one of her items.

She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents and a brother, Edward.

She is survived by her daughters Margaret Gullion of Powell, Jamesetta Roane of Casper, Juanita (Jerry) Brost of Cody, Fae (Frank) Weir of Casper, and her son Bill (Leah) Gullion of Powell.
