The third person Eddie meets in heaven
Ruby is the third of Eddie's "Five People." She explains that she was married to Emile, the man who created Ruby Pier. After a fire leveled the park, Emile was ruined - both physically and financially. Coincidentally, Ruby happened to be tending to Emile on the other side of the curtain in Eddie's father's room. She alone heard Eddie's father's last words - he called out the names of his wife and his two sons. Ruby also reveals the truth about Eddie's father's death, thus teaching Eddie the importance of forgiveness.
