Mildred "Ruby" Bowers passed away quietly January 3rd, 2016 at the age of 93. Ruby was the daughter of William McKinley and Laura Elizabeth Nave of Carter County and is a direct descendant of Teter Nave, a 1778 settler of Carter County.

On the day after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Ruby married Floyd H. Bowers. He preceded her in death after 63 years of marriage. They were devoted to each other and she looks forward to seeing him again after crossing over Jordan.

During her years as the wife of an Air Force officer, she was a volunteer with Family Services assisting families of soldiers in need. Always willing to assist others, she continued her post-military community service becoming active in her church, First Baptist of Elizabethton, along with various veteran's and community service organizations including Disabled American Veterans, Eastern Star, American Red Cross and American Legion.

Ruby loved a good joke and could take as well as she gave. No doubt that she this very minute is sitting with St. Peter swapping jokes and telling tales. Her sense of humor never failed her and no one who met Ruby could walk away without a smile.

Ruby was preceded in death by her brothers Earl and Luther Nave, sister Edith, and son Michael Robert Bowers. She is survived by her sister Ella Ruth Perry, sons Edward and Ernest Bowers along with numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
