September 29, 1943 - September 28, 2021

7 I have fought the good fight of faith, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. 8 And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8

Oakdale, LA

Sister Mildred Letaine Davis was born on September 29, 1943 in Oakdale, Louisiana to the late Ross and Georgia Jones. She joined the Israelite Missionary Baptist Church in 1952 and was baptized by the late Reverend R.B. House. Sister Davis served faithfully in different roles including Church Clerk, Usher Ministry President and Sunday school teacher. Sister Davis attended Allen Parish High School and graduated in 1961. On January 12, 1968, Sister Davis was joined in Holy Matrimony to Levorn "Bobby" Davis and to this union was born one son, Keith L Davis.

She worked with the Allen Parish Council on Aging as a cook/server until her health began to decline. After the passing of her husband in May of 2006, she moved to Jacksonville, Florida and became a faithful member of All Things Common Ministries in Jacksonville under the leadership of her son, Pastor Keith Davis.

Momma Davis, as she was affectionately known, departed from this side on September 28, 2021 at 12:03 p.m. at home with family in Jacksonville.
