Mary Davis Obituary
"HOME" - that blessed word which opens to the human heart the most perfect glimpse of heaven.
Chady had two homes for herself: One actual home which she lovingly spent with her beloved husband and children; and another spiritual home which she now travels to be with our omnipresent Father, the Lord God our maker.
Chady's life may be summarized as she was a gift to us from God. She shared may compassionate and productive years cherishing Clarence, nurturing Vincent and Eric, serving as a support beam for her family members and educating students throughout her lifetime. Also, she remains a tried and constant friend to many persons. Her friendship is a blessing to her old friends. They hold the same memories she carries with her about their good times. "She was a gift to those who loved her; now she is a gift to God who created her from love."
"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid:
for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song:
He also is become my salvation." (Isaiah 12:2)
She is survived by her loving husband, Clarence; her son and daughter-in-law, Vincent and Rhenia Davis of California; son and daughter-in-law, Eric and LaKisha Davis; sister, Bernadette Jones; and eight grandchildren.
Mary was proceeded in death by her mother, Georgia McKinny; and her mother-in-law, Thelma Davis.

Mary always had the best ideas for how to handle students who were hard to reach. She touched them with her firm love and those kids were the ones who came back most to thank her for her guidance. We had great times, with smiles and stories in the teachers' lounge. We will miss her so. Our thoughts are with you.

Mary was an important and dearly loved part of Denali Elementary School for many years. Dozens of her former 6th grade students have come back to the school through the years, hoping she still works here, wanting to share their successes and to thank her. As school staff, we are very happy that she was able to join us for lunch at New Years. Those memories have become even more precious to all of us now. Mary was loved and will be deeply missed. Our condolences and deepest sympathy go out to her husband, Clarence, their sons, and the family. From the staff of Denali School - sent with love from her many friends.
