Rubye Mae (Worley) Utley, age 56, of Jonesboro was called up to her Heavenly home early Wednesday morning on July 2, 2025.  Rubye enjoyed many things throughout her life.  She adored angels and had collected many figurines and angel decor. She was a talented crafter that could make almost anything she set her mind and her glue gun to.  She also enjoyed painting and was skilled at painting ceramics and lawn ornaments just to name a couple.  She loved to create wreaths, each one was as unique and special as she was.

Rubye was also gifted with a green thumb that was passed down through the generations within her family.  Just like her parents before her, she passed the gift of her green thumb down to her children.  Rubye loved her K-9 four-legged fur-babies, Sasha, Maggie, and Bull.  She lost her beloved furry-feline she had loved for 15 years, named Little Man, earlier this year.  All of her fur-babies gave her many years of loyalty and unconditional love.  Her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren consumed heart and were the apple of her eye.  She loved and cherished any time she was able to spend with them.

Those left to cherish her memory are her children, Joshua Worley Walker & Rosanna, Shannon Walker & Tracy Johnston, Marcus Walker, Ashley Walker.  Grandchildren, Dakota Walker, Logan Walker, Dianna Walker, Madelynn (Walker) Wheat, Brianna (Garner) Gilbert, Adrianne Garner, Sydney Anderson, Marie Anderson, Alex Lewis, Hunter Williams, Emma Williams, and Layla Kelley; great grandchildren, Brylee Michelle Gilbert, Liam Joseph Garner, and 4 more great grands on the way.  She is also survived by her brother, Andrew James Worley.

Rubye was preceded in death by her grandsons, John Francis Garner III, Jasper Todd Williams; parents, Charles and Dianne (Harper) Worley; infant siblings, Nathan Worley and Dee Dee Worley.

The family is planning a memorial in her honor at a later date.
