Lily Nell Davis Muse who resided in Tallahassee, Florida passed away on September 2nd from natural causes. She was born on the Boeuf River near Ft Necessity on February 19, 1927.
Her dad was a riverboat pilot so she spent her early life on the river which she remembered fondly. Her parents died when she was only eight and she had to grow up with relatives during the tough times of the depression. She reflected often of that period, hoeing and picking cotton as a young girl. During the war period she moved to Alexandria and worked at the Charity Hospital. She would meet her future husband in Alexandria after the war. He was a local boy and in the air force thus a new adventure soon began in her life. She was with him on his numerous assignments throughout the United States, having three sons along the way.
In 1964 he retired and they moved back to where he grew up near Boyce. Lily continued to work while the boys were growing up; contributing to their well being and education. She also continued her education, obtaining her high school diploma which she was unable to do in her youth. She was quite proud of that fact.
In the mid-eighties they decided to retire for good and began a life of traveling and seeing the United States in their motor home. Lily was particularly fond of New Mexico and that part of the country. She was always amazed of how her life turned out and how lucky she was. A fun loving person who enjoyed listening to saucy jokes, as well as telling them, she lived a long and beautiful life and contributed importantly as part of the Greatest Generation.
Pre-deceased by her father and mother, Robert and Mary Davis; her husband of 64 years, SMSGT Ira C. Muse; and her youngest son, Leslie C. Muse; she is survived by two sons, five grandchildren and three great grandchildren. They will miss her enormously.
Internment will be at Arlington National Cemetery, where she will join her beloved husband, Ira.
