Virginia DAVIS


Died peacefully on April 3, 2006 from natural causes
at Sunrise Haven, a Christian Science nursing
facility. Virginia was born to Reginald and Ethel
Peacey on August 9, 1918 in Long Beach, California.
The family lived in California for awhile and then
moved to the Lake City area of Seattle. She graduated
from Lincoln High School in 1937, and briefly attended
college before embarking on a business career.
Virginia married William Davis on January 1, 1950 and
they lived in Alaska for a short time, but later
settled in the Edmonds area. She worked full-time
while raising a family and took pride in her career,
eventually earning her CPA degree. After her husband's
death, she lived in downtown Edmonds with a
breathtaking view of Puget Sound, which she thoroughly
enjoyed. She was working for Alaska Northwest
Publishing when she retired, after which she traveled
a bit and spent several winters in Cathedral City, CA
to be near her sisters and savor the warm desert
climate. In her later years when she could no longer
drive, she stayed at home in Edmonds but was
faithfully taken to church twice weekly by friends,
and she cherished visits from her grandson, as well as
numerous other family members and friends. Virginia
was preceded in death by her husband, Bill, and is
survived by her son, Sherman and his wife, Sheila,
daughter, Sheryl Lotton, and grandson, Jesse Lotton.
Virginia was a strong and caring mother and
grandmother, as well as active in the church and
charitable organizations, and she will be greatly
missed. There will be a Memorial Service at 1:00 p.m.,
Thursday, April 13 at 546 Alder St. Edmonds, in the
first floor gathering room of the building where she
lived. The family suggests that anyone wishing to make
a memorial donation contribute to The Christian
Science Church located at 551 Maple Street, Edmonds
Washington, 98020.
