Belinda M (Morrison) Ruble

Belinda Morrison Ruble, age 69, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, February 16, 2022.  “Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go through them, and I will praise the Lord.  This is the gate  of the Lord, through which the righteous shall enter.”  Psalm 118:19-20.

“Who can find a virtuous woman?  For her price is far above rubies.”  Proverbs 31:10.

“Her children arise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.”  Proverbs 31:28.

Belinda was born and raised in the Sullivan Gardens community of Kingsport.  She moved to Morristown to pursue her career in typesetting.  This is where she met the love of her life and best friend, her beloved husband of 41 years, Charles Ruble.  They started a family and had two children, Charly and Cameron, whom she adored.  She was also a mother to Shanna Wilson and Hope Isley.

She loved singing and sang in multiple singing groups.  She enjoyed reading and solving puzzles.  She was retired, but recently started working at Morristown Hamblen Library, which she deeply loved.  What she enjoyed most was being a mamaw.  Her grandchildren were her pride and joy.

Belinda is preceded in death by her parents, Haynes and Ruby Morrison; brother, Ronnie Morrison; sister, Sandra Rath; and daughter, Hope Isley.

Left to cherish and honor her memory is her beloved husband, Charles; daughter, Charly Clarkson (Brian); son, Cameron Ruble (Morgan); daughter, Shanna Wilson (Chris); grandchildren, Eddie Davis and J.C. Davis, Vincent Cantoni, Andrew Cantoni and Zachary Cantoni, Kenny Howlett, Jr. and Kameron Howlett; her fur babies, Spencer, Tom, Chloe and Toby; special nieces, Teresa Trent and Carrie Morrison; nephew, Chris Morrison; special cousins, Jean Starnes and Charlotte Nashinski; many more.

Also left to cherish her memory are her special friends, Joyce Greer, (her oldest and lifelong friend), Patty Davis, Ruby Gilbert, Peggy and Les Smelcer, Danny and Sherry Roberts, Jamie and Kristy Dalton, as well as many others.
