Jessica Hill Davis

Jessica Hill Davis died Tuesday, May 10, 2011, at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC. She was just eighteen years old. Jessica was the amazing daughter of Kelly and Paula Davis of Lewisville, NC. In addition to her parents, she is survived by her grandmother Shirley Davis of Winston-Salem, NC; grandparents Roy and Rose May of Whitsett, NC; and an uncle Joe Hill Davis of Winston-Salem, NC.

Jessica was a senior at Ronald Wilson Reagan High School in Pfafftown. She was so proud to have been accepted at N.C. State and to have been awarded a Cystic Fibrosis Scholarship. Her goal in life, from an early age, was to be a meteorologist at The Weather Channel and work alongside her hero Jim Cantore.

Jessica had a true love of life that was contagious, and a determined spirit that everyone admired. That determination served her well after undergoing not one, but two lung transplants in the same year.

Her great passions in life were varied. She loved weather and we all gathered around the television whenever a nearby storm was approaching. She loved food. Having a meal was not just a meal. It was an event and when asked what she would like for dinner everyday, the response was the same, “Something really good.” She always looked forward to the annual dance concerts. Jessica had been on the tennis team and planned to play at the 2012 Transplant Olympics.

She will be remembered for her smile, her enthusiasm, her love of Britney Spears, and the television show “The Office” and the fact that she had memorized every line from the movie “Twister”, and in her words, “It is the greatest movie ever made.”

A funeral service, celebrating the Life of Jessica Hill Davis, will be conducted on Friday 2:00 PM at the Vogler Funeral Home Reynolda Chapel, a Dignity Memorial Provider, 2951 Reynolda Road (336-722-6106). Burial will follow at Forsyth Memorial Park on Yadkinville Road. Family and friends will visit on Thursday (today) from 6:00 to 9:00 PM at the Vogler Funeral Home, Reynolda Chapel.
