Due to the passing of her father at a young age, Rubedene learned the value of hard work helping her mother raise the large family.

She loved cooking for the inmates and even received several letters from inmates praising her cooking skills. She was a talented seamstress, making clothes for family and friends while working for Singer Sewing. She also gave sewing lessons to several customers. Rubedene' s grandchildren meant the world to her; she loved holidays when everyone could get together and have large family meals which always included the mess from the homemade noodles made by her husband, Bob. Rubedene was very involved in several local clubs such as Rebekah's, Ladies of the Moose and Wives of the National Guard. She was always ready to help and lend a hand with any project.
