Marie Davis, 78, born on March 19, 1947, in Aberdeen, Monroe County, Mississippi, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, at Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo, Mississippi. She was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend, who lived her life with grace and a deep commitment to those she loved.

Marie had a successful career as a retail manager at Amy's Clothing Store, where her keen sense of style and commitment to customer service made her a beloved figure among her colleagues and patrons alike. Her dedication to her work was matched only by her love for her family.

She is survived by her cherished son, Willie A. (Nancy) Davis, Jr., and her beloved daughters, Regina (Richard) Boone and Bridget Davis. Marie also leaves behind her dear brother, Pastor Emmitt A. Jarman, Jr., and her sister, Berniece Hodges, who will carry her memory in their hearts.

Marie was preceded in death by her father, Emmitt Jarman, Sr., her mother, Mary L. Eddie, and her late husband, Pastor Willie A. Davis, Sr., who were each significant in shaping the values she lived by.
