NANCY DAVIDSON Obituary

Nancy, age 63, of Fresno, passed away peacefully on Monday, September 5, 2011, ending her last travel journey in life. She was born and raised in Iowa graduating in 1965 from Columbus High School in Waterloo, Iowa, The day after graduation she moved from Iowa with her parents James and Marjorie Kohn to become a California Girl. They settled in Turlock, California where she started her career as credit manager with McMahan's Furniture. Nancy loved to travel and that interest later developed into a long career in the travel industry and she obtained her Certified Travel Consultant designation (CTC). She was able to travel the world and relished being able to assist others so that they could enjoy their vacations or business trips as much as she would. She thought as travel being the "happy" industry because normally everyone loves to travel. She was most recently associated with Travel Express and Travel Davidson. The family would like to thank the Clovis Community Medical Center doctors, nurses, technicians, support staff and volunteers for their wonderful assistance, outstanding care, concern and compassion. Nancy's advice is to think positively and surround yourself around as many positive people as you can. This will inspire yourself to be the Best You Can Be! Nancy is survived by Steve Davidson, her husband of 38 years; her father, James Kohn; father in law, Verner "Dave" Davidson, all of Fresno; and sisterinlaw, Cindy Kyle of Fresno; and brother -in-law, Mark Davidson and his wife Linda of Visalia. She is also survived by many uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins and her friends and co-workers. Also included are her two loving Shelties, Snickers and Charlie. At Nancy's request there will be no services. She would like remembrances be made to the Susan G Komen for the Cure, 5730 N. 1st St., Fresno, Ca. 93710; Central California SPCA, 103 South Hughes Ave., Fresno 93706; or to a favorite charity.

Dear Steve & Family,
My deepest sympathy to you Steve at this very difficult time. I wasn't prepared for this Steve. Nancy and I spent so much time together as you know. I met her shortly after she moved to Turlock in 1965. She was like a sister. We had so much fun together. We always kept in touch. She visited me in Canterbury, CT and we drove all over New England. I visited you and Nancy in 2004 on my way to LA. I wish I could have come down more often. God Bless you and your family and especially give my best to her Dad. He would drive us around in his beautiful old cars. What a treat. She was a breath of fresh air when every you talked to her. What a beautiful lady.
Love, Bobbie

I was privileged to work side by side with Nancy for many years. She was not only a friend but the most dedicated, caring and competent person one would ever hope to meet. The travel industry has lost a most wonderful lady.

I met Nancy back in 1985 when I was a cruise line sales rep calling on travel agents in Fresno. She loved my Delta Queen Steamboats and I loved talking with her about them. She was a true professional

September 11, 2011

I first met Nancy not long after she'd married Steve. We attended
classes together where she'd hoped to improve her bridge skills.
I would see her around town over the years and always enjoyed
a brief visit. Nancy was so upbeat I can barely believe she is gone.
My sincere sympthy to Steve, Nancy's parents and her extended
family. Seeing Nancy always brightened my day. I know many people
must feel the same. With love, Barbara Christl
