2024. She was born on March 25, 1930.
She was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great great grandmother as
well as a dear friend to all who knew her. She was a lifelong member of Moffett Road
Assembly of God (now Refuge Church), where she and her husband (R.G. LaCoste, Sr.)
started the church in their front yard along with a few other couples.
Richard and Ruby married on August 4, 1945 and were married for 73 years. They raised 3
sons: R.G. LaCoste, Jr. (Sheree), Vincent D LaCoste (Brenda), and Robin LaCoste (Sharon). She
had 8 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, 4 great-great grandchildren.
Mrs. LaCoste drove a school bus for years for the Mobile County Public School System. She was
known for her amazing, cackling laugh. She loved fishing, gardening, and teaching Sunday
School. She and R.G., Sr. read through the entire Bible each year. And she arguably made the
best banana pudding around!
She was preceded in death by her husband R.G. LaCoste, Sr., twin daughters, and her son Randy
LaCoste.
Funeral services will be held at Refuge Church (previously Moffett Road Assembly of God) on
Friday, July 26th. Visitation will be held at 11am with the funeral following at 12:30pm. Interment will follow at Valhalla Memorial Gardens, Semmes, AL.
