Ruby Emelda White was born on August 10, 1930 in Belize City, Belize in Central America to George Rocke and Matilda Pandy. Ruby attended Ebenezer Primary School where she was actively involved in the church ministry right into her adolescence. As a teenager, Ruby held several jobs as a storekeeper, domestic helper, and various other jobs to assist her mother and younger siblings. Her hobbies included reading, cooking, dancing, attending church and going to the movies. At the age of 24, Ruby met the love of her life, Roderick White Sr. This union produced 13 children, 9 boys and 4 girls. Having 13 children to nurture, clothed and feed was certainly challenging. However, this woman became an economist and entrepreneur to ensure that her children had daily sustenance.

Ruby was an excellent cook and baker, so she used this skill and got into business. She worked from sunrise to sunset. She baked the nicest potato pudding with the jelly on top, creole bread, and buns. Name a dish and she could cook it with her eyes closed. She did not have enough hands to sell her wares. She later opened a fruit and vegetable shop to enhance her busines. In 1976, she migrated to the United States of America where she lived for 40 years until her heavenly transition. She made several trips back and forth to Belize. After getting married in 1986, She finally convinced the love of her life to join her in the U.S. They spent their final years together until his passing in 2004. Ruby had a heart of gold. She always opened her home to others. Her table was always filled with family and friends.

She had a joyful spirit and a beautiful warm smile that brightened up the room. She was loved by all and affectionately called "Mommy". She was a born-again believer, a woman of faith who prayed diligently for her children and other family members. Ruby Emelda White nee Rocke transitioned into glory on December 30 th , 2020.
