Marilyene Davis, 96, of Waco and formerly of Hillsboro passed away October 22, 2016 in Waco. Graveside services will be held October 25, 2016 at Hillcrest Garden of Memory in Hillsboro.
Mary, the third of seven children was born April 6, 1920 in Hillsboro to William and Myrtle (Hixson) Fawcett.
Mary attended school in Hillsboro, graduating from Hillsboro High School in 1938. On June 21, 1939, she married Carlas Davis, beginning a long and loving marriage of 67 years that continued until his death on August 3, 2006.
After her marriage to Carlas in 1939, she worked at McCroy's Department Store in Hillsboro. The onset of World War II led the newly married couple to Casper, Wyoming where Carlas served in the Air Corp and Mary worked at the PX. At the conclusion of the war, they returned to Hillsboro where they began their family. As their family grew, Mary enjoyed serving in the PTA and being active with the local community service clubs. After her children were grown, she worked with her husband in their local business, Davis Paint and Wallpaper Store, until their retirement in 1985. After her retirement, she enjoyed working and continuing to make new friendships while employed with Shells Dress Shop.
Mary greatly enjoyed her church, being a faithful member of the First United Methodist Church from the early 1960's until declining health in 2011 no longer allowed her to attend services. She enjoyed the Sunday socials and was well known for her delicious chocolate pies.
Preceded in death by her parents, William and Myrtle; husband, Carlas; one sister, Maxine Bray; brothers, Walter, Harold, Jimmy and Clinton Fawcett and one baby brother, Albert, that died shortly after birth.
