Dorothy Aquila (Dot) Davis, 88, died after a short illness on August 25, 2019. She was born on May 24, 1930. Dot was the third daughter of John Hollie Davis (1902-1981) and Thelma Seay (1907-1982). Her older sisters were Lucille (1922-2014) and Rebecca (Becky, 1927-2008). Dot married Fred S. Reagan on June 30, 1948 and they were married for nearly 62 years until Fred’s death in 2010. They had two children, Daniel Eugene (Danny) born in 1951, and Cheryl Ann (Cheryl) born in 1953. Dot was a graduate of Young High School and a member of Beech Grove Baptist Church.
After marrying Fred, Dot was primarily a housewife and mother, but assisted Fred occasionally in his electronics business and worked at Sky City and the Proffitt’s Department Store warehouse after her children were grown. Upon the untimely death of her daughter Cheryl, she helped Cheryl’s widower Ken (who moved from California to be nearby) raise her grandchildren, Derek (7) and Kara (4).
She is survived by her son-in-law, Ken; grandchildren, Derek and Kara; great grandchildren, Saddie and Miles. A private family service will be held. Expressions of sympathy may be offered to the family at www.berryhighlandsouth.com
