Della Davis

Our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, cousin and child of God, Della Mae Davis, was born February 19, 1945 in Montgomery, Alabama. The daughter of Richard Johnson and Emmaline Jackson reunited with her parents on Thursday, November 19, 2020 at the age of 75 years.

Della finished school in Montgomery, Alabama and later moved to Detroit, Michigan and from there to Saginaw, Michigan. She retired from Healthsource in Saginaw after many years of faithful service. A member of Bethlehem Baptist Church, she served as an usher and in any capacity that was needed. Her sweet presence and beautiful smile was surely be missed.

She leaves precious memories with two children, Sylvester (Linda) Howard, Daphne Lashe Howard; grandchildren, Latesla Davis, Sylvester R.

Even though I am not physically here, always remember that God loves you and I did too.
