Reva Judd Davis Reva "M"
Judd Davis (84)died December 15, 2005, at the Orem Nursing and Rehab Center.Reva was born July 30, 1921, in Hoytsville, Utah, to Thomas William Judd and Katherine Sisa Marchant. Being the only girl in a family with three boys, Reva found a dear place in all of their hearts all of her life. Her father raised sheep and they all enjoyed working hard lambing, cooking big meals for the shearers, taking trips to the Utah desert, and having picnics in the summer with their Dad at Trial Lake.Reva's love of music started early in life as she played the piano and organ at a young age in church. After high school at North Summit, she came to BYU. She played the saxophone in the Cougar Band. When WWII started, she came home to help on the farm. In 1945, Reva answered a call to serve in the Northern States Mission. She loved being the mission secretary to President Creed Haymond. (Their mission reunion group was honored a few years ago in the Church News for having the longest continuous reunions of any mission in the Church).
While in Chicago, she met a U.S. Navy sailor named Harold Shelley Davis. After her mission, they were married in the Salt Lake Temple in 1947.Harold introduced Reva to fishing on their honeymoon to Canada; and, they enjoyed fishing and traveling together for over 53 years from Alaska to Florida. They returned to Chicago to finish Harold's doctorate at Northwestern and then they moved to Pullman, Washington. Finally, they lived for the next 30 years in Richland, Washington.Reva was busy raising four children. She was active in the Richland Twins Club, Singing Mothers, and as organist in church.
Harold and Reva had a dance band that traveled southeastern Washington, playing for many ward and stake dances. New Year's Eve usually found Harold playing the trumpet and Reva playing the saxophone and piano in a stake's celebration.Her whole life, Reva loved "old-fashioned" homemaking from a very clean home to bottling fruit to quilting to cooking delicious homemade meals. Reva was a beautiful seamstress and often sewed matching outfits for her twin daughters. The family enjoyed traveling in their travel trailer to places like Yellowstone, the Redwoods; and once, across the USA to visit American and Church Historical sites.
After retirement, they moved to Provo, where Reva enjoyed family, grandchildren, the temple, and BYU sports.Reva and Harold served a mission to the Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie, Hawaii. Reva loved serving there, as her grandfather, Franklin William Marchant, served three missions to the wonderful Hawaiian people. Her grandfather's first call to the Sandwich Islands was in 1881; and, over 100 years later, his granddaughter (Reva) was serving in Laie. On the mission, she would play the little old organ in the chapel as the tourists came through. The most popular song they would sing along with was "How Great Thou Art."Reva loved helping others. She loved serving at church, playing the piano or organ, and visiting teaching. Her Provo home was known as "The Davis Motel" as many friends and relatives would come for delicious meals and a place to stay. Many family members (young newlyweds or college age grandchildren) and friends (especially from Hawaii) lived with them for extended periods of time, to help get their feet on the ground.In January of 2003, Harold and Reva were involved in a serious automobile accident from which Harold passed away. Since then, Reva has been through a number of surgeries. For almost three years, she has been cared for at the Orem Nursing and Rehab Center. Reva learned to enjoy the simple things, like the cooking channel (she often thought she was the T.V. chef, cooking all those wonderful recipes like she always used to do!) and she loved watching ball games (BYU was her favorite and so BYU always won!). We are extremely grateful for the wonderful care Reva received at the Orem Nursing and Rehab Center. You are all so fantastic!!!! Thank you all very much!!!
Reva is survived by her children: Harold (Springville), Janet Harris (Pullman, WA), Jean Owen Crissler (Heber, UT) and James (Richland, WA); brothers: Donald and Bill (Hoytsville, UT); 25 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Harold; her brother, Leon; and son-in-law, Douglas Owen.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Wednesday, December 21, 2005, at the Edgemont 7th Ward Chapel, 555 East 3230 North, Provo, Utah.
Reva requested that no viewing would be held. A family prayer will be held at 10:40 a.m. at the church. Interment will be at the East Lawn Memorial Hills Cemetery.
Since Reva loved music, especially the piano and organ, in lieu of flowers, please make any donations to the Brigham Young University Department of Music, (498 C, Museum of Art, BYU, Provo, Utah 84602).
