Dori Davis Obituary

Dori (Allen) Davis died peacefully in her sleep on May 21st. Born in 1960 to James and Ida Allen in Spokane Washington. She is survived by her parents, her siblings Heidi Carter (Randy), Michael Allen (Sandy), and Lisa Muey (Tim), her son Derek Davis (Rachel), her Daughter Deanna Scofield (Aaron), and grandchildren Silas, Ryat, Olivia, Keenan, Anthony, Teanna, Rylei, Alkamy, and Conner. She was married to Tony Davis in 1979 and remained friends even after they divorced. All who knew her will remember how much she loved her family and friends, camping at Priest Lake, playing cards, a good water fight and practical jokes that were always accompanied by a mischievous, infectious laugh that will be missed. She was one of Jehovah's Witnesses and was looking forward to the future spoken of in the bible at Revelation 21:3,4 when there will be no more tears, death, and pain. A Memorial Service will be held at Fairmount Memorial Park, 5200 W. Wellesley Ave, Spokane WA 99205, on Saturday June 4th at 3:30 pm.

How sad I feel to learn of this. Brings back memories of good times in Spokane with Dori and other friends. I remember "chaperoning" Heidi and Randy on a date. (Loved that Dodge Coronet he had.) Dori and I in the back seat. We had so much fun. I felt so happy to be included. Also a slumber party at the Allen house. We tried to stay up all night, but just could not do it. Swimming at Loon Lake, then one by one we all got married within months of each other. As often happens, years and miles have separated us. May Jehovah comfort and strengthen all of you.

I was blessed with a beautiful last encounter with Dori in May, 2015. I had a tear in my eye and she asked me if I wanted a tissue. I thought she said "Did I want a kiss?" So I kissed her. She was smiling and radiant. So glad I did. Loving cousin Robert

Dori has always been special and one of the best friends I've ever had!! We had many memories together. She will always have a special place in my heart. It will be an exciting time when we get to greet her in Paradise. Now I just need to make sure I'm there too!! Much love to Jim and Ida and family. Deanna Domichel and family

To the Allen and Davis families... May you find comfort in the many wonderful memories you have of Dori, till we all have the opportunity to see her again with no more sickness. I myself have many memories of Dori at the assemblies with kids of our age group at the time and how happy and funny she was.
