Ms. Ruby Dancil

Philippians 1 :21 states, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." We are convinced Elder, Mother, Sister Ruby Dancil gained her access to her heavenly home on Thursday ,February 23, 2023. Mother resided in Milwaukee, WI for over 43 years before moving to Georgia in 1998. She embodied a large capacity to love, honorable servitude, humility, compassion, kindness,a clever wit, and the goal to draw individuals to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through many platforms. She will be dearly missed by so many and leaves all of us with comforting memories. Mother Ruby was born November 24, 1943 to James and Frankie Richardson in Sunflower Mississippi, She accepted Christ in her late teens. As she grew into womanhood, she became a Registered Nurse for over 45 years and eventually she specialized in mental health, drugs & alcohol which provided a great platform to, Let Her Light Shine.

She also was one of the 7 founding members of the Milwaukee Chapter Black Nurses Association. She attended UWM and graduated from MATC.

Mother was a part of the TBN volunteer group known as Prayer Partners for over a decade. She was affiliated and worked in the AA Allen Ministry and completing courses at Miracle Valley Bible College. She also attended Milwaukee Urban Bible College, Milwaukee Institute of Theology and received many certiftcotions connected to her longing to "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Mother was a faithful member of the 6:30am prayer-line started by her friend Mary Thorton for 6 years. Also, she was a co-founder with her daughter Jeannette of a weekly family prayer-line that was started in 2008 and will continue on with the consisted members of Rosie Watkins, Nettie Richardson, Jeannette Richardson, Allen Richardson, and Darren Dancil and we are hopeful for others to return. She started a ministry called, "Mom's Wit" years ago that started with encouraging letters and transitioned to sending around a hundred texts weekly. Most recently in the face of battling serious health issues, she returned to Milwaukee in December 2021 and had the opportunity to have a beautiful reunion with family and friends. Also, she renewed her membership at Refuge Fellowship Ministries Church (RFMC) and received so much love, honor, prayers and appreciation from Sr. Pastor C.A Lewis, ministerial staff, and the entire congregation.
