Ruby Manuel Peet

Ruby Mae Manuel Peet, 81, of Magnolia, Texas, formerly of Lake Charles, passed away on Sunday June 8, 2025, at her home in Magnolia with her family at her side.

A native of Welsh, Ruby met and married the love of her life, Allan Theodore Peet, Sr., in Lake Charles. The newlywed couple embarked on an adventure of moving west and settled in the Pasadena, Texas area before moving to Magnolia after retirement. While both were from very large Cajun families, they raised their family in Texas, with frequent visits to the extended family in Louisiana.

Ruby worked for the Cypress Fairbanks School District for many years, having first worked as a bus driver and retired from Vending services. True to her roots, Ruby enjoyed her family and cooking and being with others, but not far from home. She was of the Catholic Faith.
