Ruby J.

Watson

Ruby Jean Watson was born June 28, 1957, and departed this life on Thursday, November 12, 2026, reaching the age of 69 years. She was the daughter of the late Arvin and Jewell (Dixon) Bell.

She is survived by: her husband, Zyandall Watson; two sons, Bryan Lester Watson and Kevin Tyler Waston (Krista); and grandchildren, Ethan Watson, Averie Watson, Aubrie Watson, and Landyn Watson; and step granddaughter, Sara Bertram-Richardson (Stuart).

She is also survived by: three brother, Ronie Bell (Bonnie), Paul Bell, and Eddie Bell (Regina); and four sisters, Marilyn New, Merry Bell, Grace Smith, and Beverly Diaz; along with many nephews, nieces, other extended family members and friends that will always remember and love the time they got to spend with her. She also had a very special child, Daisy. Daisy was her pride and joy in the past few years. She bragged about her and threatened all of us if Daisy wasn’t taken care of.

In addition to her father, Arvin Bell; her mother, Jewell (Dixon) Bell, she was preceded in death by: her daughter, Samantha Collins; three brothers, Norman Wade “Wayne” Bell, Ricky Bell, and Mark Bell; and one sister, Glenna Stonewall.

Ruby always loved to be around her family and friends. She cherished all of them. The more the better was her point of view. No matter how loud it may have gotten with all the laughter; she enjoyed laughing at stories being told, whether by her, her kids, or her siblings about their crazy adventures of their youth.

She will be greatly missed and her memory will be treasured forever by all who knew her.

The family will receive friends on Tuesdy, November 17, 2026, between 11 am – 1 pm in the chapel of the funeral home. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 1 pm at the Hicks-Vaughn Funeral Home Chapel. Burial will be in the Hurt Cemetery.
