Callie Watson was born in Lee City, Kentucky, January 10, 1914, the daughter of Thomas Ratliff and Ada Ellen Salley Ratliff. She grew up in Jackson, but resided in Estill County for most of her life.
In 1941, she married Thomas A. Stokes, a train dispatcher for the L & N Railroad. They had two children: a son, Robert A. “Jiggs” Stokes (Amy) who lives in Golden, Colorado with their son, Robert Curtis; and a daughter, Sherry Stokes Kraus (Eugene J.), Rochester, New York.
Several years after the death of Thomas Stokes in 1958, Mrs. Watson married Claude J. Isaacs, a long-time Ravenna barber.
Several years after Mr. Isaacs’ death in 1978, she married James A. Watson, who died in 1984. Callie was a devoted wife, mother and homemaker, but also had one of the longest
careers as a cosmetic consultant for Luzier, Inc. in the company’s history. She began her
career with Luzier in the late 1950’s and serviced her patrons until 2007.

of Florida, Dorsey Ratliff and Exray Ratliff of Jackson.
Callie loved her family, her many friends, her home and her long career selling cosmetics. Ageless at “39 and holding,” Callie had an incredible enthusiasm for life. She could not bear to be idle and always had some wonderful project in the works, which, at various times, included learning
the skills of needlepoint, hooking rugs, quilting, painting furniture and mixing concrete. She
loved to cook, work in her yard, tend her beautiful flower gardens and keep an immaculate
home. She will be sorely missed by those who knew and loved her.
