Individual Details
Ruby Ann Davis
(17 Dec 1891 - 31 Mar 1984)
This was the sweetest and most interesting woman I could have had for a mother-in-law. She was always telling me stories of things that happened in her family and she relished the idea that I listened and I relished the idea that she shared with me.
She would often tell me that she was trusting me to take care of her baby. My husband was the youngest of her eleven children, with nine living to adulthood.
She loved wrestling....the good guys and the bad guys. Into her 90s she would watch, glued to the TV, occasionally stomping her feet when it got exciting.
