Arnette Davis Obituary

DAVIS, Arnette

Arnette Lucille Davis, born June 29, 1945, in Kettering, Ohio, passed away peacefully on August 15, 2025. She was a woman of quiet strength, whose love and kindness shaped us all. Though she never sought the spotlight, Arnette's legacy shines through the lives she nurtured and the care she gave so freely - a soft word, a listening ear, a helping hand. Arnette was preceded in death by her loving husband, the Honorable Judge G. Jack Davis, Jr., and her daughter, Jacqueline Wagner. She is survived by her daughters, Trisha Duff (Randy) and Annie Davis (James Brown); sons, Jack Davis III (Lindsay), Jeff Davis (Taylor Choi), and Chris Davis (Melissa); grandchildren, Erika, Ashton, Daniel, Ashley, Jonathan, Tara, Tabitha, Travis, Jackson, Kendall, Haley, Chase and Sofia; and great-grandchildren Carter, Elijah, Noah, and Abigail Jane. She is further survived by her sister, Martha Ann Samble; her brother, Arnie "Bud" Meyers; and her dear friend, Murel Hull. A celebration of Arnette's life will be held on August 22, 2025, at Tobias Funeral Home, 3970 Dayton-Xenia Rd., Dayton, OH 45432. Visitation will be from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, followed by a service at 7:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to honor Arnette's legacy by donating to Brookdale Oakwood, Ohio's Hospice Dayton, or the Alzheimer's Association, in gratitude for the care and compassion given to her. Online condolences may be made to the family at https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/dayton-oh/arnette-davis-12487052.
