August 10, 1925 — February 11, 2018

On the afternoon of Sunday, February 11, 2018, Rubye Settles, 92, went to be with her Lord and Savior.

Mrs. Settles was born on August 10, 1925 in Rowena, Georgia to the late Clyde and Rebecca Baggett Prater. Following high school, she married her high school sweetheart the late, James Keith “J.K.” Settles, J.R. In 1950, they moved to Fort Valley and Keith began working at Robins Air Force Base. With her family as her highest priority, Mrs. Settles stayed home with her children until they began school. She then began her 30-year career at the Robins Air Force Base restaurant as a store clerk and later as a bookkeeper. Mrs. Settles was a longtime faithful member of the First Baptist Church of Centerville where she served in the WMU. She was also a member of the Civilian Wives Club and the Pilot Club. She was a wonderful cook and would often entertain family and friends in her home. Mrs. Settles was also preceded in death by her brothers, Marvin, Walter, and Fred Prater and sister, Mary Jo Bruner.

Her memory will forever be treasured by her children, Carol Woodham (Pete) of Cumming, Jim “J.K.” Settles (Phebe) of Macon; grandchildren, Kenneth Settles (Christina) of Lawrenceville, Nan Pownall (Kyle) of Macon, Christi Woodham of Toccoa, Chuck Woodham (Amy) of Dahlonega, Paul Woodham of Atlanta, and great-grandchildren, Rubye Grace, Della, and Kellen Pownall and Chandler Woodham, Clayton Woodham, Ava Woodham, and Anna Woodham.
