Ruby Nell Bellar passed away peacefully at home with her family. She was 80 years of age. Ruby was born to the late William Gallien and Ella Owens Gallien on Jan. 10, 1942, in Opelousas, La. She and her family later moved to Lake Charles, where she attended W. O. Boston High School. Employed as a trainer and caregiver at Robinswood School for the developmentally disabled, she was a dedicated and hard worker until her retirement after 32 years. She was a faithful member of Evergreen Baptist Church where she often served and shared her love of cooking. She will be remembered as a loving mother, loving grandmother, kind friend, great cook, plant lover and an avid card player who never met a stranger. She was loved by all and will be dearly missed.
