Dierdre Davis

Dierdre Davis, 60, of Davie, FL, passed away on August 1, 2024, in Davie, FL.

Born on December 26, 1963, in Hollywood, FL, to Robert and Jeanette Davis, Dierdre was known for her kindness, resilience, and dedication to her family and community. She attended Davie Elementary before moving on to Nova schools. She excelled academically and athletically in volley ball and softball, where her drive and determination shone brightly, allowing her to graduate early at just 17 years old.

Dierdre built a successful career in banking and finance that spanned over two decades. She started as a teller at First Union, but her commitment to excellence quickly propelled her into leadership roles, including Bank Manager and Loan Officer at City County Credit Union (now We Florida Financial). Dierdre earned numerous awards during her career, a testament to her skill, work ethic, and the trust she inspired in her clients and colleagues. She was deeply respected in her community for her dedication to educating others on financial literacy, always striving to empower people of all ages to manage their finances effectively.

Dierdre took on a new opportunity as an executive assistant to the town manager in Pembroke Park, where her father had served for nearly 30 years as the town’s facilities supervisor. This role deepened her understanding of city management and fueled her passion for community outreach and development. Dierdre’s work was always driven by a desire to make a positive impact, and she brought the same level of care and commitment to this role as she did in finance.

Embracing her entrepreneurial spirit, Dierdre founded Dee-Vine Tax and Document Services, where she provided fair and affordable tax services along with professional document management. As a trusted adviser, Dierdre became a key figure in her community, offering guidance and support to countless families navigating complex issues such as citizenship, marriage, custody, and legal matters. Her work was deeply personal to her, and she took immense pride in helping others achieve their goals.

Dierdre’s drive didn’t stop there—she expanded her business to include investment management, lending services and fingerprinting, always finding new ways to serve her community. Her passion for travel led her to establish Dee-Vine Travel and Tours, where she used her vast network and resourcefulness to help others fulfill their travel dreams. Dierdre was a natural connector, always bringing people together and creating opportunities for growth and collaboration. She was actively involved in mastermind groups for business development, an LGBTQ ally and supported Sickle Cell research.

Dierdre’s warmth, generosity, and unwavering belief in the potential of others defined her character. She was the kind of person who saw the good in everyone, always offering her support without hesitation. Her legacy of love, care, and community service will continue to inspire all who knew her.

Dierdre is preceded in death by her father, Robert Davis; her sister, Candace Davis; her brothers, Bobby and Baby Davis; as well as her grandparents and many aunts, uncles, and friends who have gone before her.

She is survived by her daughter, Donata Davis; her mother, Jeanette Davis; her nieces, Caceta, Calandra, Kiara, Destiny, Desire, and Nevaeh; her nephews, Amari and Elijah; her godchildren, Keebie Crawford and Dwight Hunt; and numerous cousins and aunts from Florida to Detroit and Seattle.
