Surrounded by family, Eileen (Mezzini) Davis passed away peacefully on Thursday June 6, at age 78 after a courageous battle against Alzheimer's. Born in Pawtucket, RI March 9, 1946, she is survived by her best friend and loving husband of 57 fantastic years, John "Jack" Davis. In addition, she leaves behind son John Davis, his wife Patricia and their children Cameron and Emily; her daughter Eileen Davis-Roesler, her husband Michael, and their children Colby and Mikayla; and her daughter Courtney O'Leary, her husband Thomas, and their children Macklen and Calvin.
Wearing a white wedding dress paid for with her poker earnings, Eileen married Jack at age 22 and started their family in Cranston, RI. They moved to South Windsor, Connecticut where they raised three children in a beautiful home in a quiet town.
Originally a teacher with a master's in education, Eileen's career shifted upon discovering her two-year-old daughter was diagnosed with bilateral profound Deafness. Her and her husband then founded and created the largest hearing aid dispensary in CT, Hear Again Center.
Jack and Eileen retired in 2009, splitting their time between a dream home they built in their beloved Galilee, RI and The Villages. A strong athlete and ferocious competitor, she loved racquetball which quickly translated to a passion for pickleball. In addition to Roxy's Girls, Eileen was an active participant in The Amigos, Gourmet Club, Second Honeymooner's Club, Convertible Club, and St. Charles Social Club. She fully embraced life in the Villages, as a surprise to no one, for Eileen was always active and engaged.
For all who knew her as a loyal, loving, feisty, and fun-loving woman, her family asks you donate to Alzheimer's Army, her husband's fundraising campaign to put money directly in the hands of the scientists doing the necessary research to find a cure for this heartbreaking disease.
A Celebration of life is planned with details forthcoming.

Sending my deepest sympathy on the loss of Eileen. It´s sad to see the rotten disease take a lady with so much to give and one so loved by family and friends. We lost touch over the years, living in different places with our sons and daughters grown, but I always thought fondly of our interactions in South Windsor, CT. Prayers to Jack and family.

We were honored to have met Eileen when she was at Harbor Chase and we became fast friends with both her and her wonderful husband, Jack.
We will always hold dear the memory of having both her and Jack over to our house for a laugh filled lunch, as well as for all the smiles (and special Eileen greetings!) when we visited at Harbor Chase.
Jack & Eileen are the standard that every loving couple should strive to emulate, and we send our love to the whole family, as we send prayers to Eileen to keep everyone laughing up in heaven!
Lots of love from Cindy, Terry & Peggy Davolt

We met Eileen when we retired, moved to The Villages, and joined the Amigos Club. A very special memory is the trip to Africa with Eileen and Jack and other friends. We had been to Africa several times before, but seeing the delight in Eileen´s eyes every time we had a new animal or people encounter was special. Eileen absorbed every new encounter in life like a sponge.

Eileen was a special person who enjoyed life to the fullest. You never had to guess what Eileen was thinking, she would straight up share her insights. An honest, hard worker, good pickleball player and devoted to her dear husband, Jack. RIP Eileen.

I worked with Eileen for many years. We went through many good times. I pray she's with Jesus now! God Bless Eileen!
