Ruby Deal Mills

In Loving Memory of Ruby Mills

With heavy hearts, the family of Ruby Mills, announces that her earthly sunset occurred on Sunday, May 31, 2026.

A true beam of sunlight and a faithful child of Christ, Ruby fell asleep surrounded by her close loved ones and awoke to her heavenly sunrise in paradise. Leaving the embrace of her family on earth, she was welcomed into the promised land by her Savior and the loved ones who departed before her. Among those being her mother, Retha, sister, Shirley and daughter, Dori.

Her legacy will be carried on through the lives of her daughters and sons in love: Charlene and Darin Rhoades, Shannon and Max Stecker, and Ronnie Hinchcliffe. 

Her light and love will continue to shine through her grandchildren and their spouses: Justin and Annie, Joshua, Caitlin, Autumn and Marcus, Jakob, Gabriel. 

Her memory will be enclosed in the hearts of her great-grandchildren: Hampton, Grace, Ella, Caiden and Dawson. 

Her loving spirit will be seen in the grace of her sisters and brothers in love: Terri and Glenn Farmer , Theresa and Joe Wilkins, Randy Sellers and their beautiful families.

Ruby was preceded in death by her Mother and Step Father, Retha and George Dean, Father, Floyd Deal, Sister, Shirley Sellers, Husband, Charles Mills and Daughter, Dori Hinchcliffe.

While her many loved ones will feel her absence, they can rejoice in the promise of eternal life and find comfort knowing that Ruby is now at peace in the presence of her Lord and Savior.

Ruby would also want to remind everyone of a scripture that she clung to in times when she needed strength.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: My God; in him will I trust. Psalms 91

All are welcome to join the family for Ruby’s Homegoing Service at Bryan-Lee Funeral Home in Angier, North Carolina. The service will be held on Wednesday, June 3, 2026 at 3pm.

The family will not be holding visitation prior to the service, they ask for peace and privacy in the moments before saying farewell to their matriarch.
