Nancy Davey Obituary

Nancy Satterfield Davey was born on April 10th 1926. She was raised in Richmond Virginia and went to school at St. Catherine's School class of 1944. Her parents, Calvin and Mary Minor Satterfield were in the hospitality business and ran hotels in Pinehurst NC and Cape May NJ. She spent her summers at her beloved Chalfonte Hotel in Cape May. She had many close friends she shared memories with from those summers. Sully and Merrinelle Sullivan, Harry and Marge Strater, Al Partenhimer, Ron and Jule Campbell and so many more. She was famous for her extensive trivia and spelling expertise. She was a great football fan and she entertained her nephews Tommy and Cricket Satterfield as well as Calvin Satterfield and his wife Louise and her son Bart down on West Avenue watching her Redskins. She lived for 14 years in an attached apartment with her son and his wife Hedley. During this period she loved socializing with grandchildren Matthew, Chris and Ashley as well as their friends Thomas Fritts and Michael Barry. They loved to share a drink with her and listen to her stories and her favorite Frank Sinatra songs. She famously wore her John Riggins football jersey as her costume every Halloween. She will be missed by all that were lucky enough to know her.

I ran a low key law office with one full time and one part time Secretary. We were kind of like a family and we shared our thoughts and problems. Nancy was like the loving grandmother. Glad to know that she lived with Bart and his wife in the last years of her life as she had much love to share. She will always remain somewhere in my memories!

I am so very sorry to hear this. I met Nancy when I went to work for Randy Herring in the early 90's and so enjoyed the time we spent talking and laughing during our work days. Just in the last few years, I was home visiting and having dinner with my niece Meredith when she introduced me to a friend whose last name was Davey and I'm like "do you know Nancy?" He's like "she's my grandmother!" What a fun night that was catching up on how she was doing. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
