My grandmother loved to dress up and wear pretty hats and cloths as evidenced in this 1960s picture. The thing as a child that I enjoyed most was her ability to tell a story; and a wonderful storyteller she was. Rest in peace. You have been delivered from all the pain of this earth.

Ocie Florida Jackson Davis as a wife and mother.She was married the day she turned 15-years-old. By the time this picture was taken she had given birth to 12 children, one stillborn. Her oldest child had died at one-years-old of dysentery. Another daughter died at age 26 of asthma related complications. Three years later her son died of bleeding ulcers and was sent home from the military, given an honorable discharge. During her life she contracted an autoimmune disease, RA. In her lifetime it was debilitating, twisting her fingers and toes so it was difficult for her to walk and manipulate objects with her hands. She lived with great pain on a daily basis. Her husband, William Sherrill Davis was by her side every step of the journey, helping her in anyway that was needed. Truer love for a woman was never shown by any other man. In the end the disease took her life but she left her legacy behind with many lessons to be learned about survival and perseverance in the midst of adversity and pain.
