The lifelong Seattleite, known for her love of dance and bright sequined outfits, had been in failing health in recent years. She finally succumbed to heart and liver failure, with daughter Cynthia del Rosario at her side during her final moments.
During Wing Luke Museum’s ambitious $23 million capital campaign to convert the historic East Kong Yick building into its new home, Ruby Luke and sisters Bettie Luke and Marguerite Young teamed up to raise $100,000 to support the construction.
