Ruby Ellen Peebler Langel
August 7, 1925 – February 6, 2016
Ruby Ellen Peebler was born in Rudyard, Montana to George Allen Peebler and Anna Norah Lambott Peebler. She was the eldest of 5 children. Her early years were on the Peebler family farm near Rudyard, where she graduated from high school. She then lived in Kalispell with her parents and siblings.
She married Duaine Chester "Dewey" Langel in 1945 and continued to live in Kalispell while Duaine served in the Army during World War II. After his discharge, they made their home and farmed South of Rudyard until 1958 when they purchased the Selmyhr place North of Rudyard on Little Sage Creek. They also maintained a home in Rudyard until moving to Chester in 1968 where she worked as the bookkeeper for Chester Implement.
Ruby loved gardening and somehow coaxed beautiful flowers to grow in the sometimes harsh environment of North Central Montana. She was a cook’s cook, whose meals were a memorable experience not only for her family but for friends and strangers alike. She was renowned for her amazing baked goods.
Ruby had a love for reading and music, which she passed on to her children. She also had a life-long love of keeping journals and documenting family history. She had collected information over the years and researched the genealogy of her family tree. In her retirement she used this information to hand write a family history for each branch of the family and shared them with family members.
She and Duaine retired in 1988. They moved to Missoula in 1990, where Ruby resided until her death.
Ruby was preceded in death by her husband Duaine; and by her sister Betty DeShazer of Libby, Montana.
Ruby was survived by her children: sons Ken (Chris) of Lolo, Montana; Roger (Resa) of Post Falls, Idaho, and Craig (Ellen) of Missoula; and by her daughters: Kathleen Pelc (Bill) of Dillon, Montana and Laurie Clark (Gary) of Missoula. She was also survived by her sisters Marge Williams and Sharon Reynolds of Kalispell, and by her brother, Larry Peebler of Rudyard; as well as numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Ruby was always a polite and proper lady, demonstrating traditional values throughout her life. Her gentle manner and kindness to all will be missed by everyone who knew her.
