Lynn Davis Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Apr. 5 to Apr. 6, 2023.

EAST BEND — Lynn Beckman Davis, age 79, was called to Heaven on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, at her home surrounded by her loved ones. She was born on April 27, 1943, in Hopkins, Minnesota. Lynn was the daughter of Hester Isabelle "Albertson" Beckman and Stuart E. Beckman. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother, and Nana. Lynn was an Assistant School Teacher at Forbush Elementary, where she retired after 35 years. Lynn was proceeded in death by her husband, Joe W. Davis, parents, and siblings, brother Charles Joseph Beckman and sister, Carol Harpor. She is survived by her children, Billy Smith III (Stacey), Julie Stowe, Melissa Smith; five grandchildren, Nicholas Smith, Jessica Stanley (Clint), Casi Reece (Nathan), Jenna Reavis (Zachary Matthews), and Carley Knight (Luke); and five great-grandchildren, Caden and Dallas Stanley, Nate, Tommy, and Finley Reece. Lynn was known for her charismatic personality, witty sense of humor, and overall sass. She had a big heart and when she loved, she loved hard. She would ponder on how to solve world problems while drinking a pot of coffee over a game of Scrabble. Being a "handyman" was second nature to her. She could fix anything with a hot glue gun and a supportive audience. Magic medicine (Neosporin) would heal any wound. She was known for her secret "family recipes" that always included a microwave, and her kitchen skills were questionable. In Lynn's 79 years on this Earth, she never met a stranger. She always knew the perfect thing to say to put a smile on anyone's face. As a true people person, she thrived off the lives of others. Lynn held her previous students close to her heart and was proud of so many. Her infectious personality touched more lives than we can count. Per Lynn's request, there will be a private graveside service for the family. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Forbush Elementary School via the website. https://www.donorschoose.org/schools/north-carolina/yadkin-county-schools/forbush-elementary-school/3677.

Lynn and I grew up a block apart in Hopkins, from prior to kindergarten to her marriage. We were playmates, doing what little girls did: play dress-up, played cards (Pig and the Spoon), and just enjoyed each other's company. Our brothers were best friends and our fathers were members of the Hopkins fire department for30 years. I will always cherish these memories of her, and in retrospect- wish I could have helped her with her culinary skills and she with my lack of knowing what to do with a glue gun! But in deference to Lynn, she lost her mother when she was in early elementary school whereas I spent much time in the kitchen cooking and baking for my 4 sibs, their friends, and my parents- and still enjoy doing so in my late retirement years. And interesting that we were both educators during our adult years!
My sincere condolences to you, her family, and may she rest in peace until we meet again, old friend.

What can I say about Lynn? She was a character indeed. She was always up to something at Forbush Elementary. She was the "life of the party" as I thought. I didn´t get to speed a lot of time with her but enjoyed subbing at "Little Forbush" and getting to know her. Once you met her, you never forgot her. She kept you laughing. You could tell she loved her job and all those many children she touched. I saw her out several times and recently a few months ago. She had not changed a bit. I just want to say to the family that my heart goes out to you. I am so sorry for your loss and you all are in my prayers. Hugs.

Lynn could bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart. I am glad that I had the privilege of working with her and that my daughter was in her class. While her kitchen skills may have been questionable her love for her students could never be doubted

I am so sorry for your family's loss. My family loved Lynn. My daughter, Anna Doub, had Lynn in first grade. We instantly became friends. I had the pleaseure of working with Lynn on many occasions, as I became a teacher assistant at Forbush and she was one of our favorite substitute teachers. We had many laughs!!! She deeply cared about each student she had! I will treasure my memories of Lynn Davis. Praying for all of you through this difficult time.
