Geraldine Davison Obituary
Geraldine Louise Cooper Davison of Pasadena passed away at the age of 86 on March 7, 2014. A memorial celebration of her life will be held at South Main Baptist Church on Wednesday, March 12, 2014 at 10 a.m. with Dr. Ron Lyles officiating.
Gerry was born in Houston, Texas on May 25, 1927 to Edith and David Cooper. She graduated from Pasadena High School and received her B.A. from East Texas Baptist and her Masters from University of Houston. She taught school in Pasadena Independent School District for many years. She was a faithful member of Richey Street Baptist Church and more recently South Main Baptist Church. Her church homes played an important role in the expression of her Christian faith and were the basis for many valued friendships.
Gerry was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Marion Ed (Dave) Davison, her sister Patricia Cooper Powitzky and her infant daughter Rebecca.
Gerry is survived by her sister May McManus, her daughters Shirley Burnett and Judy Jones, her sons Don Davison and Doug Davison, seven grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, it was her wish that memorial donations be made to South Main Baptist Church to support their various outreach ministries.

I am going to miss Aunt Gerry's precious smile and her warm hugs. She always showed me how much she loved me and I loved her in return. No more pain - she is at peace. I bet she is square dancing in heaven right now!

Even as a young boy I was always struck by Aunt Gerry's sweet disposition and kindness to me. She always seemed genuinely interested in what I was doing and even the most mundane updates were met with an enthusiastic response. She never changed. Such a grand lady. She will be missed by all.

My sincere sympathy to the family for the loss of your dear loved one. May you find peace and comfort in Psalms 65:2. Again my deepest sympathy.

Mom, you and Dad began my life with the gift of love. You taught me that God loves me unconditionally and showed me the value of a personal relationship with His Son. You modeled the love in a Christian marriage. You taught that love is demonstrated through respect and reinforced the importance of work ethic, patriotism, and responsibility. I've tried to pass those lessons on to my sons even as my grandparents passed them to you. Yes, through love you taught me how to live and now with love you have taught me how to die, full of grace and headed home. Thank you and I love you, too.

My mother once said that one of her greatest regrets was that she did not read to me like modern parents do. I had to laugh when I told her that my earliest memories are of sitting on the couch with my head in her lap while she read to me from the orange Childcraft books. She was delighted. I still love the "stories"...what a wonderful memory.

My sweet sister Gerry was one of my best friends. And she was a good friend to many, helping others as much as she could. She loved all of her family so
much. I will miss her greatly, especially on Wednesdays, "Sister's Day". But I'm so thankful she's been healed in Heaven, forever.

Gerry was a second mother to me when Shirley and I were growing up together. I've loved and looked up to her all my life; the world's a better place for her having lived in it. I'm blessed to have had her in my life and, Shirley, to have you in my life. We've been best friends forever since long before today's kids "invented" that term! I grieve for your loss, but celebrate with you for the many years you had with your wonderful mother. much, much love, Donna Jean

Dear Shirley, Judy, Don and Doug, I was so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I loved your family when I was growing up and I cherish the friendship that your parents had with mine(Betty and M.A.)and the connection plus good times between our two families. Your mom was such a kind and gentle person and I know your will miss her greatly!
