Ruby Davee

June 15, 1922 — October 28, 2015

Ruby Kinnett Davee, 93, Mooresville, died peacefully at home in the early morning hours on October 28, 2015. Mrs. Davee was born June 15, 1922, in Brown County, to the late Alva and Mary (Lemons) Kinnett.

Ruby was the consummate farm wife alongside of her late husband, Dale Davee.

Gleaners honored Mrs. Davee with their Volunteer of the Year Award in 2000.

Ruby and Dale enjoyed traveling throughout the U.S., especially to Colorado, Renfro Valley, and Missouri. She loved people and was always very social, making friends easily. Ruby will be fondly remembered for her love of family, her delicious home-cooked meals, and her generous spirit.
