Help Us Honor Ruby Criado’s Life

Our beloved Ruby Criado is currently in the hospital on hospice, and we’re preparing to say goodbye. Ruby is only 47, but in her short life, she brought so much light into the world as a sister, mother, daughter, and friend.

If you knew Ruby, you know she was full of life—dancing to Prince or Michael Jackson, planning her next trip, or lighting up any room with her energy. She was a true social butterfly who made friends everywhere she went. Ruby loved music, dancing, and being surrounded by people—and above all, she loved her kids and grandkids deeply.

We’re raising funds to help cover the cost of cremation, a viewing for family and friends, and potentially a celebration of life. We’re still finalizing the details, but we want to send her off in a way that feels true to who she was: vibrant, loving, unforgettable.

Anything you’re able to give will make a difference and help us honor Ruby’s memory the way she deserves.

Thank you so much for your love and support.
