Diane Foreman Ruby

Diane Jo Ruby was a beloved mom, daughter, grandma, aunt, sister, and friend. Diane earned her LPN degree and, in 1991, moved her family to Spokane, Washington, so she could pursue her dream of working as a geriatric nurse. She worked for Saint Luke’s Extended Care Center, which later became the Spokane Veterans Home. Though health concerns ultimately ended her beloved career as a nurse, Diane remained a passionate advocate for quality nursing and loving patient care.

Her family established the Diane Foreman Ruby Memorial Endowed Scholarship to honor her spirit and service and to support others pursuing a nursing vocation.
