"The City of North Las Vegas mourns the passing of Ruby Duncan, a giant of advocacy and justice, who worked tirelessly to better the lives of working Nevadans.  Her impact is felt today throughout Southern Nevada through assistance and support for women and children and the addition of community resources to the Historic Westside. 

I extend my deepest condolences to her family and to all who were touched by her. I also extend my gratitude to Ruby for showing us all what it means to stand up and advocate for others. Her legacy of justice and compassion will continue to be taught to generations of North Las Vegas students at Ruby Duncan Elementary School. Thank you, Ruby."

 

- North Las Vegas Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown
