Kathy McBride Davis was devoted to her family and religion, and showed her love for both through her daily actions.
"She was self-sacrificing, and saw her work not as a task, but as a role she chose for herself," said Glenn Davis, her husband of more than 17 years.
Mrs. Davis died at her home on Sunday, Feb. 28, 2010, after a year long battle with cancer. She was 55.
She was born Aug. 19, 1954, in Eldora, Iowa, to Harlow and Marjorie (Maroney) McBride.
After an experience in college, Mrs. Davis
worked with "helping other women grow closer to Christ," Glenn Davis said. She served as a staff member for Campus Crusade for Christ in several places, including the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, Marshall University in West Virgina and at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
Deciding she wanted a more international experience, she went to China and taught English as a second language for two years. She also shared "her love of Christ" with those in China.
"She felt it was important to give to Christ, and believed in sharing that love with others," Glenn Davis said.
She married Glenn Davis on Oct. 24, 1992, in Ames, Iowa. In 1997, the couple moved to Columbia. The two later adopted two children, Janna, 13, and Benjamin, 11, from China.
Mrs. Davis was very proud of her children and stayed home to home-school them.
She was also an active member of Grace Bible Church.
Mrs. Davis is survived by her husband; two children; and two sisters, Anita McBride, of Albuquerque, N.M., and Irene Ingraham of New Fairfield, Conn.
Her parents and a sister, Lana Faye Johnson died earlier. Her Mother died the same day.
Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Grace Bible Church, 601 Blue Ridge Road. Services, conducted by Pastor Michael Burt, will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday at Grace Bible Church.
Burial will be in Lincoln Township Cemetery, in Zearing, Iowa.
Memorial contributions may be made to Grace Bible Church, c/o Bach-Yager Funeral Chapel, 1610 N. Garth Ave., Columbia, MO 65202.
