On March 29, 2026, the Lord, in His infinite wisdom, called from labor to reward. Johnnie B. “Ducky” Davis, who peacefully departed this life at her home at the blessed age of 100 years.

Her home was always open to family, friends, and neighbors who stopped by for a visit, where a slice of her delicious pound cake and tea cakes were often ready to be served. On bright and pleasant days, she could often be found sitting on her porch, working in her yard, greeting friends and neighbors with a smile, a kind word, and a gracious spirit. She was beloved by many, and the warmth of her presence will be cherished always.

Her life has left a rich legacy of faith, love, and Godly example that will continue to live on through the generations.

Though our hearts are heavy, we rejoice in the blessed assurance that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8 NKJV.)
