She was born June 7, 1942 to Harold Jacob Devies and Lillian Maude (Peck) Devies in Albion, Pennsylvania.

Mrs. Davis was employed for many years with Savannah Bank and Trust. She volunteered as a Girl Scout leader for several years.

She dearly loved her family both in the south and up north, remaining close to them all through the years. She enjoyed shopping with her friends, especially for her grandchildren, traveling with her husband before his passing, caring for the neighborhood birds and cultivating her favorite flowers.
Mrs. Davis is preceded in death by her husband of 36 years, William Francis Davis; and brothers, Charles and Ronald Devies, and Robert and James Knapp.
