The gentle spirit of LaVerne Davis faced its sunset of life which brought to a close the work of one of GODS noblest women, who we believe met her Pilot face to face with a record that is worthy of emulation.

LaVerne Davis, daughter of Archie Dan and Ollie Traylor, was born November 28, 1933, in Jasper, Texas. Sister Davis, one out of seven children, attended school in Jasper, graduating from J.H. Rowe High School. Soon after she married Jimmie L. Davis. The couple moved to Port Arthur and raised two children, James and Sandra. Sis. Davis worked for Park Place Hospital for many years until her retirement in 1990.

She was a faithful member of Rock Island Missionary Baptist Church for seventy years. She was an usher and a supportive member of the Thornton Circle, and served in the church's After School Program, and Bereavement committee.

Her sisters, Zerline Jacobs, Evelyn Mobley, Cleo Johnson, Imagean Sells, and brothers Archie Dan Traylor and Cecil Traylor preceded her in death.
