On September 21, 2023, Lena Mae Davis, loving wife, mother and grandmother was called to heaven at the age of 80. Lena passed away peacefully at 7:45am at St Dominic Hospital with family and friends at her side. Lena graduated from Saint Joseph High School in 1958. She married in 1962 in Jackson, Mississippi where they lived together for 56 years.
Lena truly believed in being the hands and feet of Christ with her gift of a servant's heart. She was an immense prayer warrior. Her children and grandchildren reliably called on "Granny" when they needed God's guiding hand or peace about an upcoming decision. She will always be remembered for her steadfast faith and love of Jesus.
Throughout her life Lena was blessed to have been an active part of three church families: St. James, St. Phillips and Holy Trinity. She also volunteered with Stewpot Community Services, Kairos Prison Ministries and Book Buddies with Jackson Public Schools. She was instrumental in founding HOA's in both neighborhoods where she lived and served as President of each.
Lena will always be remembered for her thoughtfulness to both friends and family, always putting other's needs before her own. Her special talent was finding the most off the wall, yet "how did I live without that?" Christmas presents. If you knew Lena, you know how much she enjoyed decorating her home during the holidays and making it as special as possible for those around her.
She loved playing bridge with friends and card games with family. She enjoyed knitting and crocheting and sharing her handmade treasures with all.
Lena was a fantastic cook. This was one of her greatest expressions of love. From big spreads of amazing dishes during holidays to the standard weeknight meal, you could always expect Lena to provide a wonderful dining experience.
Lena was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother. She treasured her family and friends and cherished every moment with them. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
