April 16, 1931 - February 13, 2019
Nan lived her life focused on her husband, children, and grandchildren often gathered on the Ichnetucknee river. Nan was born in Thomasville, GA. She met Forbes Davis traveling home from Mercer University where they both attended. They later married in 1951. While in Thomasville, they had 4 children together. They moved to Sarasota in 1968 to expand the family business; Davis Water and Waste Ind.
Eventually, with family, they developed the Ichnetuckee River Estates which was their second home and a place of many happy memories of family reunions, weddings, and peaceful quite time. It was not unusual to find Forbes and Nan working outside in the morning and sitting by outdoor fire at night with nearby friends and family.
Recently at Christmas Nan shared her favorite time; “that moment when you know everyone has arrived”. Nan always looked for the good in everyone, made time to listen and rarely gave advice. Instead she would say “you will figure it out, I am proud of you.”
Nan is preceded in death by her husband, Harold Forbes Davis and brother, Albert Lamar Stringer Jr. She is survived by her son, Harold Forbes Davis Jr of Thomasville, GA; her daughter, Regina Morrow Robinson of Cape Canaveral, FL and her husband, Greg Robinson; her son, Christopher Davis of Sarasota, FL and his wife Tari Weiskopf Davis; grandchildren, MaryAshlea Perry and her husband, Harry Perry III, Michael Morrow, Rebecca Morrow, Rose Nan Davis, Lily Hal Davis, Harold Forbes Davis III; great grandchildren, Keaton Perry and Jackson Perry
