Ruby was born on Long Plain First Nation to Herbert and Violet Peters. Ruby was the baby of the family; she helped her parents raise some of the nieces and nephews. She loved helping her mom around their home, cleaning, hanging laundry on the clothesline, and gardening with her parents. She also liked making tea, saskatoon picking and sitting outside with her family visiting. Ruby liked to wear an apron and she cherished her jewelry; she liked pulling them out to show visitors.
