Ruby Rubens

Ruby Aneda (Smith) Rubens was joyfully welcomed to this life on June 2, 1933, as the only child of Catherine (Harrell) and B. Mark Smith. Although born in Timmonsville, South Carolina, she grew up in New York City.

Mrs. Rubens will be dearly missed. Leaving to remember and celebrate her life are her son, Dr. Joe Rubens, Jr, daughter-in-law, Stacy, grandsons Joe III and Jacob; sister, Ercelle Mayner and brother, Reginald Mayner; and a host of family including cousins, nieces, nephews and a multitude of special friends.

Mrs. Rubens is a product of the New York City Public Schools and a graduate of Howard University. She also earned certification as an instructor of social security law for the Social Security Administration in New York.

In addition to her professional career, Mrs. Rubens has also amassed an impressive record of community service. Her passion for social justice has guided her in the areas of education, housing and human rights.
