Aletha Davis

Aletha Fern Davis went to be with the Lord on Friday, Aug. 22, 2014. She was born April 4, 1919 in Dellvale, Kan. She married Kyle F. Davis on Sept. 10, 1941. She was well-traveled, having followed her husband to most of his various military assignments. She loved her Lord and was dedicated to meeting the needs of her family, often sacrificially. Mrs. Davis was a tireless worker. At different points in time she worked for a telephone company, drove a school bus, helped in church youth ministries, and helped start and operate several Christian schools. In between all these activities, Mrs. Davis was a gracious hostess to all who passed through the doors of her house and remembered peoples birthdays with cards. She often sent notes of encouragement or meals to others during their difficult circumstances. She is survived by her two sons, Douglas Davis of Chattanooga and Michael Davis of Dallas, Texas, as well as her two daughters, Lynn and Linda Davis, both of Chattanooga. She is also survived by three grandchildren, Jonathan Davis of Fort Bragg, N.C.; Julie Davis of Lakeland, Fla.; and Justin Davis of Dallas, Texas.
