I am trying to find my sister, Ruby Dell Burkes (Thompson). Our daddy was J K Thompson. He passed away in 1965 in Chicago. He is buried in Burr Oak Cemetery. Back in 2009 there was a scandal involving Burr Oak where the employees were accused of desecrating burial sites of some people who were buried at Burr Oak. I was trying to find Ruby to see if she could check on our dad's gravesite to see if it was still intact. We have not seen each other in several years. The last time I spoke with her she said she was living in St Anne, IL, but we have lost touch since then. She has several children, but I only remember a couple of them by name. In 1978 I attended a baby shower for her daughter, Debra. Also at that baby shower was Debra's sister, Pat, who was also pregnant at the time. I have a photo of Debra and one of Pat. I can upload it (if possible) to see if anyone recognizes either of these ladies. Ruby's husband was named Roy. As I am getting older, it has become very important that I connect with as many of my people as I possibly can. If you know the whereabouts of any of the people mentioned in this post, please let me know.

There are many people finders on the internet who will locate her for $25
If she is not in those, she is trying very hard to hide from people and most likely does not want people to find her.

According to what I've come up with, she likely lives in the San Diego area, probably El Cajon and possibly Lemon Grove. I found no information on Debra or Pat but Ruby does appear to have two sons in their 50s named Anthony and Ray. It is also possible she lives in Tulsa OK but she appears to have moved on from there. I hope that gives you a place to start.
