Mildred Elizabeth Davis
Mildred E. Davis was born March 23, 1923 in Gettysburg, South Dakota to Peter and Grace Harms.
Millie moved to Perham, Minnesota with her family in the 1930's to farm with her grandparents during the Great Depression.
In 1943 she met the love of her life, Ted Davis, whom she married in July 1944 while Ted was home on leave from the US Army. Ted and Millie had many years of enjoyment, dancing, playing pinochle and camping in their motor home with their many friends.
Ted and Millie moved to the Tri-Cities in about 1948. Millie worked at nursing homes here in the Tri-Cities.
Ted and Millie enjoyed their many trips back to Minnesota to see family and friends up until Ted's death in 1992.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Ted; son, Stanley; brothers Chester, Arthur, Lloyd and William Harms; her twin sister, Hildred Weim; and sisters, Marge Paesler and Inez Petty.
Survivors include her daughter Joyce, Richard Morris; son, Kevin Roseanne Davis; her sister Ruth Steuber, grandchildren, Chris Christy Morris, Nicole Jesus Yanez, Daniel and Aaron Morris, Audra Lonnie Beatty, Dawn Loren English and April Michael Murry; 16 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild; numerous nieces and nephews.
Graveside services will be held at 1:00 PM Monday, September 24, 2012 at Sunset Memorial Gardens, Richland. Visitation will be held from 4:00-7:00 PM Sunday the 23rd at Einan's Funeral Home.
We are very appreciative of Millie’s trips to Minnesota to visit mom and Ruth.
She was always upbeat and a pleasure to visit with.
She was my sponsor at baptism, and I still have the Bible she gave me for my confirmation.
Joyce and family,
so sorry for your loss, I remember your mom, she was a very sweet lady. When you brother Stan, and all of the kids at Frankfort Park would come over she was always nice to us. Take care old friend, RoxanneSouthardJenkins
I just got back from vacation and heard of Aunt Millie’s passing. I will miss her dearly and her visits to Mn. I too have stories I could tell while staying with me.
What a joyous reunion she is having now with her family.
Thanks be to God for the life of Millie, blessed be her memory among us.
I am not sure I want to know all the “trouble” that Grandma Marge and Millie got themselves into on her visits to Minnesota. When asked – they would just laugh until tears were rolling down their cheeks… a suspicious bunch if you ask me!
She was a special lady who will be missed. My sincere condolences.
