Obituary of Pauline Davis

Pauline Ina Meader Davis of Putnam, CT, passed on February 6, 2019. She was 96 years old. Pauline was the daughter of Ray L. and Vera (Bates) Meader. She was born November 29, 1922, in Leominster, MA.

She was predeceased by: her husband, Norman Ellis Davis; her brother Stanley Meader; her sisters Ruth Merrill, Marjorie Peters; and her brother Ray L. Meader. She is survived by her sister Jane  Prescott and her husband Robert; and her brother Richard Meader and his wife Janice, and her loving caretaker of two years, Alice Chartier.

She is also survived by her four children, Norman Davis, Jr. and his wife Claudia of Sandy, OR; Donald Davis and his wife Christie of Littleton, CO; Carol Davis of Stonington, CT; and Nelson Davis of Putnam, CT; her five grandchildren: Glenn Davis, Everett Davis, Tristin Gleason and her husband Dan, Claudia Davis-Williams, and Isabelle Davis; her four great-grandchildren: Logan Sigla, Devon Hedding, Luke Gleason and Nicholas Gleason; and a great-great-grandson, Carter Sigla; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She graduated from Rockville Elementary School. Because of circumstances in her home over which she had no control, she was unable to attend High School. This is something she always regretted. She was needed at home to care for her younger siblings. The love, care, dedication and devotion that she showed her family will never be forgotten.

She married Norman Davis on October 25, 1941 in Rockville, CT at the Union Church on Elm Street. She was a long time member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church and was a member of the Tolland SDA Church. She had a strong faith in God. She was ready to depart from this earth and rest until the second coming of Christ, knowing that the next thing she will see is the face of her Lord and Savior. Her last hope was to meet all of her family and loved ones in heaven.

She was quite witty and had a wonderful sense of humor. Whenever you walked through her door, you were always made to feel welcome. She loved to do crafts such as sewing, knitting, crocheting, needle point, and embroidery to name a few. She made many quilts and donated them to her church for the needy. She made newborn preemie sweater sets and gave them to hospitals. Many of us have been the recipients of her handiwork and these creations will be cherished. She was generous and helped numerous people throughout her life. She was the matriarch of the family. There will be a huge void in the lives of her family and in the lives of the people she touched.

Service will be held at Rockville Tolland Seventh Day Adventist Church, 9 Hartford Turnpike, Tolland, CT at 11 AM on February 24, 2019. In place of flowers please donate to the charity of your choice. www.smithandwalkerfh.com
