Marjorie Jean "Margie" Davis

Graveside service for Marjorie (Margie) Jean Davis, age 83, will be held Monday, March 3, 2025 at 2:00 PM at Rosedale Methodist Church Cemetery in Halston, Mississippi. Margie was born October 20, 1941 to Theron and Francis Schworer in Detroit, Michigan. She was later adopted by her step-mother, Marietta Willis. As an Air-Force daughter, Margie got to travel some and even got to school in Morocco, Africa. She graduated in 1959 from Murphy High School in Mobile, Alabama. Margie moved around a bit and found her way back to Mobile, where she worked for Mobile Valve & Fitting Company for 25 years. She was an active member of the American Business Woman’s Association, Oakleigh Chapter for several years and was elected President and Woman of the Year in 1977. Margie was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. One of her greatest joys was her marriage of 47 years to the love of her life, Roy Davis. They built a life together in Saraland, Alabama until retirement. They then moved and built a house outside of Lucedale, Mississippi to spend their retirement years. They enjoyed: each other, traveling, watching football, and bass fishing. She and Roy were members of the Overlook Presbyterian Church in Mobile, Alabama. She was a God loving woman with a true servant heart. She was known for her thoughtfulness, and she faithfully sent greeting cards for every occasion, holiday, birthday, anniversary, and any other life event. She loved her family, her dogs and the Dallas Cowboys, as well as Alabama Crimson Tide. She is preceded in death by her parents; a granddaughter, Barbara Jean Williams; a grandson, Claud Lee Hampton; and a great-granddaughter, Tahlya Grace Chandler. Margie is survived by her cherished husband, Printis Roy Davis of the home in Lucedale, Mississippi; 2 daughters, Dorothy “Dottie” Crockett (Robert) of Fritch, Texas, and Michelle “Missy” Stafford (Jake) of Fritch, Texas; a step-son Aaron Davis (Shelley) of Saraland, Alabama and a step-daughter, Traci Vanlandingham (Jeff) of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee; 8 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and 1 great, great-grandchild on the way. After a long battle, Margie was called home to be with the Lord on February 25, 2025. Although she will be mourned and deeply missed, she will be forever remembered by all those fortunate enough to have known her.
