Ruby Dees Obituary

Ruby Anne was an angel, born not yet with wings. In 40 days Ruby touched more hearts, brought more hope, and inspired everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Despite circumstances, Ruby was an active, happy little girl, who loved every second. She is the brightest light to ever shine upon us. She knew nothing, but love.

Ruby is survived by her parents, Alex and Taylor Dees and big brother Jack (TN); Aunt Olivia Hale, Uncle Logan Hale and Uncle John Dees (TN), Uncle Olando and Aunt Erica Fason (CA), Uncle Alex and Aunt Cynthia Hatmaker (TN); Grandparents, Jason and Anna Aldridge (TN) and Tracy Dees (TN) as well as her devoted and caring great grandparents, Jack and Carole Boyd (SC) and Wesleyann Flaherty (TN) and an extended family, beyond measure, both near and far, who loved her as dearly as she deserved.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me; your right hand will hold me fast.  Psalm 139:9-10 (NIV)
