Blanche Ruby (Manuel) Davis

This day our mother Blanche Ruby Davis, 91 departed to continue her eternal journey. She leaves us with a wonderful legacy of love and good will for her family and friends. Her heart and home were always open to those in need. While we mourn losing her, we will always see her spirit in the flowers she nurtured, the birds she enjoyed and the garden she tilled. We are certain that her favorite hummingbirds will return every spring searching for her special recipe. Blanche was a hard-working mother dedicated to raising and caring for her family. She loved her family unconditionally. She looked forward to the reunions and holiday events with great anticipation every year. There was no limit to her generous spirit. She was active in her church and garden club and kept up with her many friends. We all share an incredible history of family events and stories.
