Known by many nicknames such as “Dang”, “Auntie”, “Dauntie”, “Nana”, and “Rene”, Lorine was a firecracker of a woman, always bringing humor and smiles wherever she went. She will be remembered by her contagious laugh, unwavering love, and the way she would worry about every little thing.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Dennis, who went to be with the Lord on September 21, 2010, and her three brothers, Robert Lee “Shakey” Davis, Jr., Merle Eugene “Gene” Davis, and Russell Wayne “Butch” Davis.
