She was a 1950 graduate of St. James High School and an RN who graduated from Fort Sanders Nursing School in 1953 and retired from Takoma Regional Hospital in 1995.
June, or “Granny”, as she affectionately wanted to be called ever since she became a grandmother, loved living on Douglas Lake with her dog Misty. She loved canning, especially jams, jellies and pickles, and loved watching old westerns. She took great pride and joy in watching her great grandson play basketball and her great granddaughter compete in cheer competitions and play softball. Her most recent joy was watching her youngest great granddaughter, Mia’s, personality come to life.
June enjoyed a very healthy and good life free from any serious illness until her hospitalization on June 29th, when cancer was diagnosed, and the disease took her quickly.
She is survived by her daughter: Devinda D. Winter and special son-in-law, Phillip C. Winter of Greeneville, Tennessee; one son: Tommy J. Davis II and special friend Darlene Cardott of Cameron, North Carolina; three grandchildren: Tommy J. Davis III of Greenville, North Carolina, Dana R. Nidiffer of Bristol, Tennessee and Erich Z. Winter of Greeneville, Tennessee; three great grandchildren: Zane M. Winter and Mia S. Winter of Greeneville, Tennessee and Autumn H. Nidiffer of Bristol, Tennessee; and two sisters-in-law: JoAnne Lintz of Greeneville, Tennessee and Maria Lintz of Centerville, Georgia.
She was preceded in death by her husband: Tommy J. Davis; her parents: William J. and Glenna R. Lintz; and two brothers: Charles L. Lintz and Willis J. Lintz.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at Kiser-Rose Hill Funeral Home at 2:30 pm Sunday, July 21, 2019. The celebration will continue at Salem Lutheran Church immediately following the service.
