Geraldine Davis

Geri was born on December 7, 1941 in Newport, TN. She was an energetic and upbeat person loved by all who knew her. She loved to play tennis and take walks with her pugs. She was an incredible mother who taught her children to be strong in the face of adversity and to always know that even though you can’t control the actions of others, you can control the way you react to them. She always woke up cheerful and made every effort to cheer up those around her. It was hard to be in a bad mood when she was around.

She was a loving mother to seven children who are left to grieve her: Sandi McEnery, Tom Crawford, Diane Bramblett, Ginger Martin, Anna Fallon, Jeff Crawford, and Valerie Raczynski. She also leaves behind eighteen grandchildren: Matt McEnery, Katie O’Reilly, Justin Bramblett, Kara Bramblett, Hunter Cox, Ariana Parsons, Micaiah Parsons, Taylor Martin, Chandler Martin, Thomas Fallon, Alyssa Fallon, Marie Fallon, John David Fallon, Craig Skinner, Blake Skinner, Taylor Wilson, Hannah Wilson, and Jake Raczynski; and seven great-grandchildren: Harper McEnery, Avery Cox, Lily Cox, Annabell Cox, Frances Cox, Grayson Martin, and Chandler Garrett.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Ina and Virgil Thomas Mantooth, and her previous husband, Mike Crawford, who she grieved as a widow while some of her children were still young. She is also preceded in death by four of her siblings: Janice Borowyj, Charles Mantooth, Clyde Mantooth, and Carl Mantooth. She is survived by siblings, Ray Mantooth, Shirley Barton, and Jeannie Mantooth.
