She was the youngest of eight siblings. On February 29, 1944 she married Sherman "Bud" Davis . They lived most of their lives in Cleburne County except for several years in New Mexico and Colorado where Bud worked in timber, and later he was a Ranch Ranger and she was a cook at Philmont Boy Scout Ranch in Cimarron, NM.
She was predeceased by her husband on May 23, 2003 and daughter, Bobby Lynn Mills on August 30, 2003. Four brothers and one sister also preceded her in death. She is survived by her son, Harold (Marilyn) Davis; son-in-law, Dwight Mills of Paducah, KY; grandchildren, Nick Mills of Paducah, Amanda Mills (Jeff) Jordan of Port Charlotte, FL, Thomas (Tammy) Davis of Drasco, and DeeAnna Davis (Benjamin) Young of Heber Springs; great grandchildren, Jessie and Russell Davis of Drasco, Weston, Julia Mae, and Isabell Jordan of Port Charlotte, FL, Brandon Babb, Trevor Babb, and Abagail Young of Heber Springs; two sisters, Nona Odom of Batesville, MS, and Dessie Wagner of Heber Springs; many nieces and nephews as well as other family and friends.
Mrs. Davis was a long time employee of the Shirt Factory. Until her health declined she was an avid gardener. Flowers were her passion; not only were they beautiful, but she knew all of them by name and where she got them, and there were hundreds. She and Bud always had the best vegetable gardens that they shared with great pride with friends and relatives. To say she had a "Green Thumb" would be an understatement. She also enjoyed playing Scrabble, crocheting, working crossword and find a word puzzles until her eye sight kept her from doing them.
