Rosemary Davis Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 21, 2017.

Rosemary Margaret Davis, 88, went home to be with her Savior, her husband Willard, and her son Todd on March 19th 2017. She was born in Ilion NY and graduated from Elmira High School in 1947. She attended Nyack College and faithfully served with her husband for 40 years, pastoring churches across Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, Michigan and Washington DC.

Rosemary loved the sun and the ocean and was fortunate to spend her last years close to the Jersey Shore. She loved old hymns, garage sales, meeting people and especially loved her family. She had an adventurous spirit and enjoyed traveling across Europe, the Holy Lands, Egypt and Russia.

Her kind and gentle heart will be greatly missed by her surviving children: Daniel & Virginia Davis of Ravena, NY, David & Debra Davis of Manasquan, NJ and Tami & Douglas Curtner of Edgewater MD, as well as her 8 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at the Allenwood Church in Allenwood NJ on Saturday, April 8th at 11 AM.
Donations in lieu of flowers may be sent to The Alzheimer's Foundation of America. https://secure3.4agoodcause.com/afa/fundraisers/memorial1.aspx

The Neary-Quinn Funeral Home in Manasquan was in charge of arrangements.

Your mother was a very dear friend during her time at Fourth. We shared in a bible study for many years, and used to walk together every Tuesday. I missed her when she and your dad moved to Florida but was able to help her decorate when I went for a visit in their new home! May God comfort you as grieve her passing! Carol Anne Griffith

Rosemary and Willard were two of the absolute best pastor's wives and pastors of Fourth Presbyterian Church in Bethesda MD for several years. They were an extraordinary couple, and we loved them dearly. May the Lord comfort and encourage you, their family, at this time, and give you great peace.

Dear Tami and Davis Family, My sympathy and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of your beloved mother. Rosemary was a radiant example of Christian womanhood and was dearly loved at Fourth Pres. I was blessed to be received in her home and learn so much from the multi-talented Dr. Willard Davis. May they rest in peace. We'll see them again one day. The peace and solace of our Savior be with you all. Carolyn, Fourth Presbyterian Church

Dear Cousins, Such wonderful memories of our time spent together in your childhood home...a home which radiated with the quiet beauty and gentleness of your sweet mother, and my dear Aunt Posey. We were all so blessed! My heart goes out to you as you go through this sad time, and yet I rejoice at the idea of Uncle Sonny and Todd enjoying her company once again. With love, Beverly Bosworth Clegg

Dan, Dave, Tami and family - so sorry to hear this news. Kind and gentle are perfect words to describe your mom. We loved her so much as our pastor's wife during the years they were in Albany. She was loving and encouraging to all of us. Praying for your family as you go through this difficult time. What a heritage you have from both of your parents. They were truly unique and amazing people and I thank God that we were blessed and honored to know them. Love you all.
