Doris Jean Davis

March 18, 1940 - January 14, 2022

Doris Jean (Toney) Davis left us Friday, January 14, 2022 at Emogene Dolin Jones Hospice House. She was born March 18, 1940 in Mt. Carbon, WV to her Parents, the late Clarence Jesse and Virginia Mae Toney. She is survived by her husband for 55 years, Emerson M. Davis, Jr., their sons, Emerson "Tra" M. Davis, III and wife Betty, Bradley S. Davis and wife Tara and grandchild, Emily Davis. Also surviving are many cousins. She grew up in the Montgomery area where she graduated from high school and trained as a laboratory technician. She worked at Montgomery General Hospital before moving to Huntington where she was employed by St. Mary's Hospital and Cabell Huntington Hospital. After meeting and marrying Emerson she joined him while he was in the U.S. Army stationed at Fort Campbell, KY where they also had their first son, Tra. Following Emerson's discharge in 1970 they returned to Huntington where she worked until 1972 when Brad was born. Thereafter she remained at home and took care of both sons and then her granddaughter, Emily, during Emily's early years, a sacred duty she loved. Jean was very active in the Association For Children With Learning Disabilities at the state and local level for many years and was active in Pea Ridge Baptist Church until her health began to fail. Jean loved going to estate sales, home decoration and being with her church friends. She was an encourager to many throughout her life. Jean Davis was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend who will be sorely missed. Her visitation will be held at 1p.m followed by her funeral service at 2p.m. Thursday, January 20, 2022 at Pea Ridge Baptist Church. Burial will be at Woodmere Memorial Park in Huntington, following the service. Gifts in her honor will be appreciated by the Emogene Dolin Jones Hospice House in Huntington.
