The Gee Family

Our story begins in 2009 but let's jump back a few to get a good idea of who the Gee family was. Raymond “Rick” Gee was born in Decatur, GA, on Feb 27th, 1963. Ruth Ann Constant was born Sept. 11, 1970, in Lincoln to Dean Edward and Frances Everhart Constant. The family would become a large, blended family with Rick’s three children from a previous relationship and Ruth Ann’s children, Justina and Dillen Constant. Friends would say the Gee family was the real-life Brady brunch. In 1997 Rick and Ruth Ann got married in Beason, IL. Together, they welcomed a son Austin in 1998 and a daughter named Jessica, and they would complete their family in 2006 with the birth of their daughter Tabitha. Unfortunately, Jessica suffered from a severe brain injury resulting in profound disabilities. She was eventually put into DCFS custody and admitted to a long-term care facility as a state ward. As the years passed, Nicole Rick’s eldest daughter would marry a man named Christopher Harris, and they would welcome a daughter in 1990. The couple would develop a toxic relationship on and off marriage, but the pair would work through it and welcome their son in 2009. The now grandparents were excited to welcome their grandchildren into the family and continue to grow.
