Mary Davis

d. May 16, 2021

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Stephenson Davis peacefully passed from this life, surrounded by her three daughters, on Sunday, May 16th after a brief illness. She was born in Atlanta, Georgia on March 9, 1939 to Robert Edward Stephenson and Jane Elizabeth Ward Stephenson. She graduated from West Point High School in 1957 and married her high school sweetheart, General Boyce Davis on November 7, 1958. She was preceded in death by her parents as well as her beloved sister, Ruth Stephenson Hassanein. Mary lived her entire adult life in West Point, Mississippi and was a much loved and respected member of the Golden Triangle community. She is survived by her husband of 62 years, Boyce Davis as well as her three daughters, Susannah Davis Walker, Jane Davis Smith (Ben), and Katrina Davis Vaughn (Jimmy) as well as her grandchildren, Brent Walker, Anna Walker Coker (Drew), Jonathan Wray (Katie), Will Vaughn (Jessie), Hunter Vaughn (Nikki), Stephen Wray (Regan), Haydn Vaughn, and Elizabeth Smith. She was also blessed to have seven great grandchildren.

Mary always took great pride in her beautiful family. In addition to raising her daughters, she was a business owner and ultimately found her passion as a natural born teacher in the West Point school district. She always considered it an honor to have helped nurture the education of so many within the community.
