Tombstone says she was the mother of Debbie and John. Articles say she was the mother of four. A number of articles say she was the grandmother and great grandmother of 52, but do not specify more than that. An urn on her tombstone says Mario. Media references (The Sun) say that Ruby's son is Mario Marshall. Is this urn for a different Mario? Was her husband also named Mario? The Sun mentions her daughter, Debbie. So: as of 2016-2017 children Mario and Debbie appear to still be alive. John may or may not still be alive. There is one more child. I have not yet determined that person's name, if he or she is male or female or if he or she is alive or deceased.
