Lavera Davis Obituary

Published by Carl Miller Funeral Home on Jan. 22, 2019.
Mrs. Lavera D. Davis passed away at age 92 peacefully in her home in Somerdale, New Jersey on January 18, 2019. She was born in Hinton, West Virginia on November 26, 1926, the only daughter of the late Beatrice (Daniels) Price and Adolphus Tillman. On Saturday, January 26, friends and family are welcome to attend the viewing from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and the celebration of life service, officiated by Rev. Dr. Charles L.

Lavera and her family relocated from Philadelphia, PA to Somerdale, New Jersey in 1965. She was employed as a 4th grade teacher in the Somerdale School District and retired after 24 years of loyal service. On November 13, 1990, Lavera was elected as a member of the Somerdale Borough Council.

She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She enjoyed spending time with her family, friends, and contributing to the community. She will be missed by all who knew her. She is survived by her loving husband, Clarence, her daughter Dr. Cheryl Smith Collura, grandson Sean and great-granddaughters Abigail and Sinclair as well as a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. She was predeceased by an infant son, Robert Lester Davis.

When someone we love falls asleep in death the memories we have of them become our treasure, may those cherished memories of a life well lived and Gods promise at John 6:40 bring you a measure of peace and comfort during this most difficult time. My sincerest condolences to the family.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
