Ruby Nell (Pratt) Keener Darr Knox
Dec 3, 1928 - Jan 22, 2020
Ruby Nell (Pratt) Knox passed from this life on Wednesday, January 22, 2020 at her home in Durant at the age of 91. Ruby was born on December 3, 1928 in Abilene, Texas to William Claud and Zadie (Jackson) Pratt.
Ruby, better known as Granny, was raised on the farm in Texas before marrying and raising her family in Mineral Wells TX. Granny then married Joe Darr and moved to Bonanza AR where they operated a grocery/convenience store. After Grandpa Joe’s passing she married Dusty Knox and continued to live in Arkansas. When Dusty passed, she moved to Durant OK to be closer to family. Granny enjoyed gardening, playing cards, doing crossword puzzles, playing washers, spending time in the kitchen making chicken-n-dumplings and crispies. She would have your favorite food and drink made and ready for consumption by the time you arrived at her house. She was the spiritual leader of her family, training us to love God and serve others. She was an extremely skillful encourager and could draw out your individual gifts and talents. Granny was our example of love and we thank her for that.
