She was the first child born to Louis & Lear Mayfield in Gainesboro, Tennessee on September 15, 1894.

She moved with her parents to Wayne, Oklahoma in 1912 on the Dwight place.

She became a member of the Church of Christ in 1916.

On November 12, 1912 she married Wylie Davis in McClain county, Oklahoma. To this union were born four children.

She passed away on March 26, 1964 at Valley View Hospital in Ada, Oklahoma.

She was laid to rest next to her husband Wylie in the Hillside Cemetery at Purcell, Oklahoma where they rest from their labours until they rise on Resurrection Morning to greet our Risen Lord.

Lord Jesus Christ, by your own three days in the tomb, you hallowed the graves of all who believe in you and so made the grave a sign of hope that promises resurrection even as it claims our mortal bodies.

Grant that our sister may sleep here in peace until you awaken her to glory, for you are the resurrection and the life.

Trusting in God, we have prayed together for our sister and now we come to the last farewell. There is sadness in parting, but we take comfort in the hope that one day we shall see her again and enjoy her friendship. Although we will disperse in sorrow, the mercy of God will gather us together again in the joy of his kingdom. Therefore, let us console one another in the faith of Jesus Christ.
