  1. I came across this obituary about a month ago while searching for Betty JO, Nancy’s sister. If I’m correct, Nancy’s grandfather (Emmitt Davis) and my grandfather (Elmund Davis) were brothers.

    The last time I saw Nancy, she was only 7 to 8 years old. I was deeply saddened, not only of her passing, but also for not ever contacting her for so many years. I did contact Betty Jo a few years ago and had the opportunity to exchange email and a phone conversation; however, life happens and I failed to stay in contact with her. I am now updating our family history with the emphasis on collecting personal stories and recollections of those who have passed. That’s how I came across this obituary. The email I had for Betty Jo was bouncing and so I search for her name.

    Cindy and Brent, I pray time has soothed your pain of losing your mother and you have fond memories of her. I certainly have fond memories of Nancy, her siblings, and her parents and grandparents. I have a couple of interesting stories I could tell :). I also have photos of your grandparents and great-grandparents and your aunts and uncles. If you are interested, I’d be glad to send them to you. Also to Betty Jo, her other sister and brother, and their families. You may reach me at contact info below.

    God bless your mother and your family.

    Your cousin,
