March 16, 1929 — January 18, 2019
Ruby Coleman Tyree, 89, of Lynchburg, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, January 18, 2019 following a long illness. She was born March 16, 1929 in Lynchburg. She was the wife of Elvin “Buck” Tyree.
Ruby was the daughter of Addison Berkley Coleman, Sr. and Annie Lou Pearson Coleman. She was a graduate of E. C. Glass High School. She was employed for many years at General Electric. She was later employed at Liberty University and retired from Westminster Canterbury.
She was an avid gardener and a long-time member of Beulah Baptist Church.

Ruby was a much-loved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Her personal faith in Jesus Christ gives us confidence that she is healed and at peace. She will be greatly missed:
