Edwina Davis Obituary
Edwina worked for the town of Narragansett as a teaching assistant in the Narragansett Elementary School for many years. She also worked for the town of South Kingstown as a teacher assistant in the Special Education Department.
Edwina lived most of her life in Narragansett. She was a great lover of animals especially her dog Maggie. Edwina spent many hours gardening, and bird watching, but most of all loved Narragansett Town Beach, the Towers, and the seawall.
Edwina is predeceased by her daughter, Laurie A. Griffith. She was also the sister of the late Peter G. Davis, Theodore "Ted" Davis and Cathleen MacLaughlin.
She is survived by her two brothers Geoffrey R. Davis and his wife Karyn, of Florida and Edwin "Mark" Davis and his wife Leslie of Narragansett. She also leaves many nieces and nephews.
The family would also like to extend their sincere thanks to Marilyn Davis who was the overseer of Edwina's care.
Funeral arrangements are private.

My dearest friend with whom I shared the most uproarious laughter, the most outrageous adventures, deepest thoughts and emotions, and loving friendship. I treasure my Rhode Island years with "Weena", Laurie and Marilyn, and the rest of the Davis family who welcomed me as if I were one of their own. Edwina was my son, Justin's godmother. He thought she was the "funniest person in the world!" ...and he had quite a bit of evidence to back up his opinion! Edwina was one-of-a-kind. We're fortunate if, in a lifetime, we have one very special and precious friend. If that is the case, she made me one of the luckiest people on the planet!
