Ruby Carol Hereford Saint, 81, of Huntsville, Alabama, Known lovingly as “Ninny” to her family, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 14, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

Carol was a woman of unwavering faith, strength, and compassion. Through every season of life, she carried herself with resilience and grace, always putting others before herself. She believed one of life’s greatest purposes was helping those in need — whether financially, spiritually, or emotionally — and she spent her life doing exactly that.

Carol was the heart of generations. She was a prayer warrior, a safe place, a source of wisdom, comfort, and unconditional love. Her faith in God never wavered, and she made sure her family knew they were deeply loved and always covered in prayer.

One of Carols greatest gifts was the way she made people feel seen, cared for, and believed in. Despite life’s challenges, she found her greatest joy in helping others, watching her family grow, and seeing her grandchildren and great-grandchildren happy. She adored her family fiercely and treasured every moment spent with them.

Carol is survived by her husband, Virgil Saint; son, Frankie Hereford (Reva); granddaughters, Amberlee Rodman (Wes) and Morgan Bridges (Stevie); grandchildren, Ashleigh Hyatt (Matt), Ryan Hereford (Sara), and Courtney Cooper (Jared); great-grandchildren, Sawyer & Sutton Hyatt, Grayson, Crosby & Rhett Hereford, Holden, Houstyn Clair & Harrison Cooper, Chapman & Chesney Moody, Cohen Rodman, Paisley & Hunter Phillips.  Carol is also survived by special loved ones she cherished Edna Jones Heggemeier (Cecil) & Tammy Hunter.
