It is with great sadness that the family of Jessie Margaret Davidson, 90, announces that she passed away at her home in Belton, Texas, surrounded by family, on Wednesday, April 4, 2007. Visitation is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, April 6, at Wilkirson-Hatch-Bailey Funeral Home in Waco. Memorial services will be 2 p.m. Saturday, April 7, at Seventh & James Baptist Church, 602 James Avenue, Waco.
Jessie Margaret was born in Tolar, Texas, to the late Roy Jefferson and Alpha Izora (Garrett) Miller. She received her teacher's certificate in 1936 and taught elementary school in several Texas cities before attending North Texas State Teacher's College where she and met and married John B. Davidson in 1938 and received her B.S. in 1939. Margaret went on to graduate school at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. She taught music in the Waco public school system from 1957 to 1981. Margaret was a member of Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.), P.E.O., Baylor Alumni Association, Seventh and James Baptist Church in Waco and various social organizations.
Margaret was the vibrant, charming, full, rich music of our family. She was always patient, kind and quick to smile, even quicker to laugh. She was generous and loving with a forceful hug and eyes that were lit with a youthful exuberance and sincere affection. She was a competitive game player and a fierce "Spoons" competitor, yet always remained radiant and lovely. Papa would say "isn't she beautiful?" She lived a life of compassion, integrity and sacrifice, and we listened carefully to the beat she set for our family letting her music enrich our lives and color our future. We are better for loving her and out of step without her. Our family may have lost the music of our hearts, but Papa finally has his back.
May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest and may the music you hear be eternal.
Margaret was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. John B. Davidson on Oct. 17, 2003.
She will be lovingly remembered and forever missed by her children, Donna Cunningham and husband, Mike, and Suzy Lackmeyer and husband, Mike; grandchildren, Lisa Cunningham, John Lackmeyer, Cristin Thomas and husband, Stephen, Jeff Lackmeyer and wife, Shannon, Jay Lackmeyer and wife, Whitney, and Bonny Lackmeyer; great-grandchildren, Trent Thomas, Jenna Lackmeyer, Hannah Lackmeyer and Chase Thomas; sister, Clyde Johnson and husband, Dave; sister-in-law, Lorene Davidson and husband, Floyd; brother-in-law, Roland Davidson; along with several nieces, nephews, and many, many friends.
