Wilda Warren Davis

Haslett, MI

Passed away October 11, 2011 at the age of 97 in Haslett, MI. Wilda was born February 12, 1914 in Bay County, MI to George and Maud Warren. She spent her adult life in Lansing and retired from General Motors in 1976. Wilda had a green thumb and loved to work outdoors, and her family and friends always marveled at her beautiful flower gardens. The only thing she loved more than gardening was arguing politics with anyone who would take her on! Wilda was preceded in death by her husband of 38 years, Claude Webb, in 1971. In 1978 she married Shelby Davis and was with him until his death in 1990. She was also preceded in death by eight of her nine siblings; niece, Carol Barnum; and step-daughter, Ruth Yanz. She is survived by one brother, Lyle Warren of Bay City; grandchildren Claudia (Matt) Ottinger of Haslett and Dale (Tammy) Yanz of Mason; great grandchildren, Alexis and Jenna Yanz; nieces, Dorothy Warren of Waterford, Alta Parsons of Flushing and Judy Frank of Fremont; nephews, Mahlon “Buzz” Parsons of Farwell and Matt Barnum of Oceanside, CA as well as many other nieces, nephews and family members. Special people mourning her loss are Tom McComb of Ionia and Shirley and Dick Heil of Lansing.
