she met with her beauty, wit and humor. Later in life, she met Sam, her soulmate. They truly

completed each other and their love radiated whenever they were together. When they dined

out, they would dance together and glide across the floor in perfect harmony.

(Ben) and Melissa Davis (Ken) and five great grandchildren, Vanessa & Tyler Holmes, Lacy,

Wade, & Elle Davis.She is also survived by her nephew, Neil (Anne) Schneider & niece, Robin
