My name is Sandy Pruitt Davies and Mabel Davies was my Mother-In-Law- I was married to her son Mark Davies in 1974 and I just want to let the family know that Mabel was an exceptional woman - kind and caring to me when I was a young confused and troubled woman. Her legacy lives on in her children and great grand children I am sure. My fondest thoughts are with her family - I know they are missing her a great deal... regards, Sandy Pruitt Davies - Calgary Alberta Canada

I worked at Bishop Davies Nursing Center in the laundry, and sometimes I also was a sitter for Mabel. It was a great joy and pleasure to do so, and was also a pleasure to know the family. Loved Mabel very much and will remember all in prayer.

Please accept my deepest sympathy on Mabel's recent passing. When I lived in Granbury back in the 80's I was priviledged to know Mabel through her children Dona and Mark. She was a truly wonderful woman and I have always remembered her kindness and consideration. She and her family will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
