Ernie D Davis Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 27, 2015.

Ernie D Carr Davis was born on August 10, 1926 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Robert and Doris Carr. After graduating LSU as a Medical Technician, she married Dick Davis where they began their life together in Caracas, Venezuela and then later settled down in a wonderful family neighborhood in Houston, Texas where they lived for 55 years. Ernie D was a caring and loving mother of her two children, Bill and Lelia, an active member of her church, a life-long member of PEO and an inspiration to everyone she met. Ernie D departed this life on March 26, 2015 at the age of 88. She was preceded in death by her husband, Dick and her daughter, Lelia. She was survived by her son, Bill, and his wife, Rose; her grandchildren, Krystie, Melissa and her husband Brad, and Matt and his fiancé Christie; her great-grandchildren Alex, Madison, and Avery; along with numerous cousins, nephews, and nieces. Services are planned for Friday, April 3 at Ted Dickey West Funeral Home in Dallas starting at 1:00 p.m. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to St. John's United Presbyterian Church, 5020 W. Belfort Ave., Houston, TX 77096.

Hello Bill, so sorry to hear about your beloved mom! I have such vivid, wonderful memories of her as both a child and an adult. She was a lovely lady.
Did not know Lelia had died; so sorry to lean that.

Ernie D was such a delight to visit with. It was always fun to hear about her childhood days and reminisce about LSU. She will be missed by all.
