Eva Pearl Davis quietly left this realm for her heavenly reward, Tuesday, May 31, 2016, at the home of her beloved son and devoted and faithful daughter-in-law. Born in West Columbia, she was the daughter of the late Ernest and Francis (Grey) Dervin. Educated in the Lexington County public school system, Sister Davis was a graduate of Lakeview High School as well as a proud and faithful graduate of Allen University, Columbia, SC.

Sister Davis was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William Davis, Sr. and her beloved son, Melvin C. Davis; along with a sister and five brothers. Sister Davis leaves to cherish her precious memories a devoted son and devoted and faithful daughter-in-law, Wiliam Jr. and Linda; four grandchildren, one great-grandchild, a twin brother, two sisters-in-law, a special family friend, and a host of nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
