Judy Carroll Matheson Davis

Judy was born on October 28, 1943 to Billie and Robert Matheson and spent her formative years in Rosebud, Texas. After graduating from Rosebud High School, she attended Jefferson Davis School of Nursing and received her R.N. in 1965. Judy married Dennis Davis after meeting on a blind date and together they raised two daughters. Judy spent the last 20 years of her nursing career as a Parish Nurse, serving three Rio Texas Conference churches. She was commissioned as Deaconess in the United Methodist Church in 2008 and served her faith communities in that capacity until her retirement in 2018. She was never without her signature necklace — the anchored cross — which reminded everyone that Jesus was her anchor.

After retirement, Judy devoted herself to the service of others thorough her work with Church Under the Bridge, San Antonio College Methodist Student Center, Methodist Children’s Home, Magdalena House, and Laurel Heights United Methodist Church, Coker United Methodist Church, Colonial Hills United Methodist Church, and many other important causes and organizations. She also spent as much time as she could with her grandchildren, who were the light of her life.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Robert Donald Matheson, and her granddaughter Talitha Margaret Holloway. Judy is survived by her beloved husband of 57 years, Dennis Davis; daughters Carrie Holloway and her husband Stephen, Sheri Johnson and her husband Brett; grandchildren Nathan Johnson, Benjamin Johnson, James Holloway, and Sarah Holloway; her brother Jimmy Matheson and his wife Christine; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
