Betty Jane DAVIS

1932 - 2015

DAVIS, Betty Jane 83, of Tucker, passed away suddenly Sept. 29, 2015. Born April 3, 1932 in Vidalia, GA, Bet - as she was known to friends and family - was a single career woman before single career women became commonplace. She worked for the FBI in New York City in the 1950s, but spent many years as an executive secretary and later a popular but proficient office manager for Constangy, Brooks & Smith, a labor and employment law firm in Atlanta. She was bound by both a sense of duty and a sense of adventure: whether it was cruising Alaska, traveling through China and Europe, or driving I-16 south weekly to Vidalia in the last years of her mother's life. She loved to laugh with her many cherished friends and small but loving family. Betty is survived by a sister, Helen Davis Struensee (Ike), of Smyrna, a niece, Jann Struensee Wynn, of Acworth, and a nephew, Chuck Struensee (Nicole), of Tarrytown, NY. She is dearly missed but heaven has her beauty and laughter now. A memorial will be held Sunday, Oct. 4 at 2 pm at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Atlanta. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that gifts in her name be sent to the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, "Friends of Music," 731 Peachtree St. NE, Atlanta, GA 30308, or a charity of your choosing.
