Navy Ray Rudd, 3, passed away on November 1, 2024.  She was born January 6, 2021 to Isaac K. & Christine (Tankersley) Rudd.

Navy Ray was the bright light in the eyes of her family. She illuminated every room she entered with her infectious and joyful spirit.  Her kindness and humor brought smiles to everyone around her.  She had a love for animals, all things pink, music and dancing.  She looked forward to attending Stage 1 dance class every Tuesday. She enjoyed being in the first pre-school, “Little Bulldog” early learning program at Clinton Central.  Navy Ray will continue to impact all she knew and her gentle spirit and loving heart will forever remain in the memories of all.
