12/31/2020, 6 p.m. Mrs. Walden
âI cannot do everything, but I can do some things. What I can do, I ought to do. What I ought to do, with the help of God, I will do.â
Those are the words Ruby Holland Walden lived by until her death at age 99 in her native Suffolk on Tuesday, Dec. 22, 2020, her family said.
Though never elected to public office, Mrs. Walden became a force for community betterment in taking on multiple roles and freely âgiving her time and resources to uplift others,â her family said.
Along with being a wife and mother and business partner with her husband of 57 years, the late Frank L. Walden, a contractor and farmer, Mrs. Walden was a constant presence in civic affairs.
