Ruby Janet Huddleston, 91, was called home to the Lord, whom she loved, on Saturday, Sept. 15, 2012, at Washington Regional Medical Center, surrounded by her loved ones. She was born on March 1, 1921, to Samuel J. Downing and Pearl Ruby Clymer Downing of Cardington, Ohio.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Glen Huddleston; her son, Michael J. Huddleston; and nine siblings. Janet had many wonderful experiences in her professional life, including a school teacher in Grand Junction, Colo. During WWII, she was a real life "Rosy the Riveter," working on the production lines for the P-51 Mustang fighter plane. She retired a Red Tab member from Levi Strauss & Co., where she worked as a seamstress. She retired to what she loved most, raising cattle, vegetables and grandkids at her farm in West Fork, Ark., that she called home for 55 years.
