Ruby Katherine
Davis
Jan 6, 1932 — Jan 20, 2024
Tulsa
Ruby Katherine Davis, aged 92, of Tulsa, peacefully passed away on Saturday, January 20, 2024. Ruby's journey began on January 6th, 1932, in Guthrie, Oklahoma, as the beloved daughter of Ellsworth Worsham and Sallie Marie (Click) Worsham. She entered into matrimony with Paul Gene (Sonny) Wilson on May 24th, 1952, embarking on a life filled with love, family, and entrepreneurship.
Following their union, Sonny, a dedicated member of the United States Army, served the nation, stationed in California and deployed to Germany. Upon his return, the couple welcomed three children into their lives: Robbie, Terri, and Becky. Ruby displayed a strong work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit, co-owning successful businesses such as Sew Unique in Tulsa, Ward's Cafeteria in Sand Springs, Ribs & Things in Sapulpa, and Creek Hills Buffet in Sapulpa.
Ruby dedicated many years to the textile industry, serving in various roles and culminating her career as the President of Midwest Textiles, spanning over 40 years. Her zest for life included a love for travel, shopping, and most importantly, spending cherished moments with her family, who held the utmost significance in her heart. Ruby's melodious voice graced the church choir at the Methodist Church, showcasing her passion for music. Her favorite hobby was cheering on the OU Sooners with her family.
In her elegant home, Ruby entertained guests with impeccable taste and a warm heart. Despite her petite stature, she possessed a strong will and left a lasting presence on all who knew her. Ruby was preceded in death by her parents, husband Paul Gene (Sonny) Wilson, son Charles Robert (Robbie) Wilson, sister Ruth Brown, brother Robert Worsham, husband Horace Ivey, and husband Clay Davis.
Surviving Ruby are her daughters, Terri Wilson and partner Dorinda Morgan of Tulsa; Rebecca Torrico and husband Jorge Torrico of Tulsa; daughter-in-law Sharecia Wilson-Nowak and husband Tom Nowak of Sand Springs; grandchild Maranda Hornsby and husband Randy Hornsby of Sand Springs; grandchild Katherine Kaplan and fiancé Taylor Haviland of Overland Park, KS; grandchild Nicholas Torrico of Tulsa; and three great-grandchildren, Finley Kaplan, Jasper Hornsby, and River Kaplan. She is also survived by her brother-in-law Chester (Brownie) Brown of Sand Springs, nephew Mike Brown of Tulsa, niece Mary Beaty and husband Mike Beaty of Grapevine, TX, and many other relatives and lifelong friends.
