Romona Davis

Romona Snider Davis, age 65, of Rowan County, North Carolina, passed away peacefully at her home on November 9, 2025. She was born on February 9, 1960, in Iredell County, to Louis Snider and the late Janet Moose.
Romona will be remembered for her strong will, resilience, and her infectious laughter that could brighten any room. Though Romona struggled with addiction and depression, she was also a deeply caring and compassionate member of her community.

She is survived by her loving husband, Billy Ray Davis; her father, Louis Snider, and stepmother, Eve Snider; her brothers, Rick Snider and David Snider (Jan); and her sister, Kathy Snider.
Romona is also survived by her children, Jessica Smith (Jason) and Betty Barnwell (Mario); her stepdaughter, Norma Carlyle (Allen); and her cherished grandchildren, Avery Bello, Alana Carlyle, Camden Barnwell, and Peyton Barnwell. She was also a proud great-grandmother to Indigo.
