Carole W. Davis

On October 1,2026 heaven gained another Angel. Carole Davis,84, passed peacefully after a courageous 12 year battle with Pancreatic cancer. Carole was born in her grandmother’s home in 1942, in Algood, Tennessee. Along with her father, a World War II veteran, and her mother, all moved to Nashville when she was five years old. Carole was a graduate of Isaac Litton High school. Her first employer was Third National Bank, later R.H. Chilton’s, then financial aid coordinator at Nashville Auto Diesel College, and 30 years at Premier Radiology (formerly Hill Radiology).

Carole was an excellent seamstress, sewing for her children, grandchildren, and great grandchild. During Covid, she made hundreds of masks for family, friends, and Church members across Tennessee, West Virginia and Florida. She also sewed blankets for the Dickerson Road Baptist Church (DRBC) mission. Carole grew up in Grace Baptist Church and was a member of DRBC for 60 plus years.

Her interests and hobbies were varied. She enjoyed 10 seasons of races at Nashville Speedway, Nascar, several seasons of Tennessee and Vandy football, Lady Vols basketball. She was a voracious reader and enjoyed watching Andy, Gunsmoke, and westerns. She was known for her amazing cooking, especially her pimento cheese, world class turkey sandwiches for Black Friday shopping and of course peanut butter fudge.

She was preceded in death by her parents Harvey Paul and Mildred (Murphy) Whitaker, and her furry daughter of 14 years, Bonnie. Carole is survived by her loved and devoted daughters Penny (Michael) Hunter and Julie (Eric) Wilson, her beloved sister Margaret (Kyle) Abshire, her adored grandchildren Mickey and Rachel (Trevor), great granddaughter Amelia, and her furry loved ones Cody, Rudy, and Sam.

Her family wishes to express their sincere appreciation to her long time special friend Nadine Sharer, her close friends at DRBC that made sure she was able to get to all services, her beloved Bellshire family (Dusty, Jeanette, Jessica, Kevin, Kristen). Special thanks to “The Boys” (Michael, Kevin N, and Eric) who took such good care of her during her time at Skyline. As well to the doctors and staff of the ICU and the 6th floor at Skyline Hospital, the doctors and staff at Premier Radiology (formerly Hill Radiology) who became her chosen “second” family who gave her love, support, and guidance for over 40 years.

Family and friends will serve as pallbearers: Eric Wilson, Michael Hunter, Kevin Chilcote, Jeff Kirby, Kevin Norris, Ricky Omohundro.
