Ruth Ann Davis was a mourner at the burial of Alice Eleanor Dowell on 24 June 1987 in the churchyard of St Mary the Virgin, Limpley Stoke, Wiltshire according to the Church of England rite. The burial was attended by Heather Ann O'Dare and a few of the staff from Waterhouse. The mourners included Jack Peter William Ward, Joan Elizabeth Hodge, Richard Mark William Ward, Ruth Ann Davis and Alison Mary Ward. Her burial service was held at the church of St Mary the Virgin in the village of Limpley Stoke and she was buried with her husband William. There were few mourners; just her son Jack, his wife Heather,and his ex-wife Joan; her grandson Richard (Jack & Joan's son) and his wife Ruth; her granddaughter Alison (Jack & Joan's daughter) and a few of the staff from Waterhouse. Jack wanted to give an address on the life of his mother but Heather forbade it presumably because of the address he had given after Dad’s funeral had made it obvious that he had a good relationship with his parents whereas Heather had a poor relationship with hers. The fact that Jack was unable to give an address was a source of internal sadness as he thought so much of his mother who had been through so much for him. It was just another example of the relationship between Heather and Jack, and the extent to which he would go to keep the peace.

A few years later after jack and Heather had been divorced and Jack had married Pat, Pat encouraged him to have an inscription referring to his mother added to the headstone. The added inscription reads:

Also his wife Alice Eleanor
