Winnie was born May 15, 1938 in Big Sandy, TN to Paul and Buel (Lowery) VanHuss.
Winnie was preceded in death by her parents.
She married Fred R. Davis Jr. in 1959; he preceded her in death on May 1, 2019. Together, they shared 60 wonderful years of marriage.

Winnie worked and retired as a manger and bookkeeper for Centreville Township.
She was a St. Clair County board member, alongside Fred. Fred served as a Precinct Committeemen, but it was often joked that Winnie earned that title for all the hard work she put in of Fred’s behalf. She was also a member of the Business and Professional Women's Foundation for many years.
She loved to travel with her family and friends. She cherished the time she was able to spend with her grandchildren. She loved to read, crochet, cross-stitch and play crossword puzzles.
