Barbara Davis Obituary

Barbara W. Davis, 83, entered into eternal rest unexpectedly on August 24, 2023. Barbara was a giving, kind, and private person with a deep affection for animals, especially her cherished feline companion, Oscar. She had a keen appreciation for the beauty in life, often reflected in her love for collectables as well as her cherished collection of books. Barbara often reminisced of her younger years on the ranch in Warrensburg, NY, where she spent time riding horses with friends from around the world. Having grown up in Rocky Hill, she found comfort and contentment in her family home in Kensington, where she crafted a lifetime of cherished memories. Barbara dedicated over 50 years of her life to The Travelers, the company where she began her professional journey shortly after completing high school. She was predeceased by her parents, Arthur and Wanda Warner, as well as her mother-in-law, Muriel Davis. Let us not dwell in sorrow for her absence, but rather be grateful for the privilege of having known her. Thank you, Barbara, for illuminating the true essence of friendship.
