Arthea Davis Obituary
Arthea E. Davis, age 85 years, passed away peacefully at Luther Woods Nursing Home in Hatboro, PA on Wednesday, January 15, 2026. Born on November 30, 1940, Arthea was a long-time resident of Hunterdon County, NJ and member of the Hunterdon Central Regional High School Class of 1959.
Arthea is survived by three sons, Brian Davis and his wife, Caroline of Willow Grove, PA, Mark Davis and wife, Adrienne of Baxter, TN, and Matthew Davis of Phillipsburg, NJ. She is also survived by 13 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
Arthea was preceded in death by her parents, Edgar R. Reed and Helen M. Reed. She was also predeceased by her husband, Ronald A. Davis, and a son, Elmer Scott Davis.
Arthea was moved with compassion for those who were less fortunate, especially children. In her limited resources, she was always ready to knit or crochet hats, scarves, and mittens for children in her community. In addition, she volunteered for many years at the Good News Home for Women in Flemington, NJ teaching ceramics.
Arthea’s desire was to have a graveside service, however, due to the bitterly cold weather forecasted for this Saturday, January 24, we have decided to move her “graveside” service to 2:30pm at The Hampton Inn, 14-B Royal Road, Flemington, NJ.
Those arrangements and cremation services are under the direction of Holcombe-Fisher Funeral Home, 147 Main St, Flemington NJ 08822. For additional information or to leave an online condolence, please visit www.holcombefisher.com.
Memorial contributions in Arthea's name may be made to the Good News Home for Women online at https://www.goodnewshome.org/donate-volunteer or by mailing a check to 33 Bartles Corner Road, Flemington, NJ 08822.
