Douglas Ann Blue

September 17, 1935 — June 5, 2019

On September 17, 1935 a baby girl was born in Iraan, Texas who would become a vital part of the greatest love story ever told. Douglas Ann Wilson Blue was born to Carl Douglas Wilson and Emma Lee Alice Strange and grew up on a ranch in Sheffield. She waited tables at her parents cafe, where she met Charles Edward Blue.

They shared a love and built a legacy that has touched countless people. Douglas Ann was a stay at home mom. She enjoyed playing poker and bingo, sewing for her family, cooking and taking care of grandbabies. Charles passed away on September 1, 2017. Their love, however, never died. She joined him on June 5, 2019, and now they are together in Heaven for eternity.
