Mary Jo Davis

She was born in Ashdown, Texas on February 10, 1934, to Luther Samuel and Josephine A. Melton. She was married to W. Clyde Davis for nine years. Prior to her marriage to Clyde Davis, she was married to Buelle N. Hill, Sr for 20 years.

Mom spent most of her life in the service to others. Through the years, she was a pillar in several different local churches, and many would look to her for wisdom and guidance. While working, she thrived in any role she was placed in but found the greatest joy in helping her customers meet their exact needs.

Mom worked for years in retail, most of her life really. She mostly worked in cosmetics departments as the department manager and buyer. She opened the cosmetics departments at the new Montgomery Wards and Sears stores at Memorial City Mall, Palais Royal, Foley's at Memorial City Mall, and at Northwest Mall. When Foley's was bought out by Macy's she continued to work for them in various departments. When she moved north to Spring, Texas, she worked at Macy's at Deerbrook Mall as a floor clerk in the men's department.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Luther Samuel Melton Sr and Josephine Melton, her siblings, Frankie Eugenia Melton, Luther Samuel Melton, Jr, Marie Johnson, Edgar Paul Melton, and Joe Leroy Melton, and her husband, W. Clyde Davis.

She is survived by her children, Norma Jean Brand, Buelle N. Hill, Jr., Richard M. Hill, Deborah K. Lozano, and John P. Hill; grandchildren, Kellee J. Mitchell, Wesley Hill and wife Ashley, Amber Burkett, Julie A. Carter, Donna Moon and husband James, Gregg Carter, Kevin Carter and wife Kim, and Ryan Hill and wife Jessica. She was blessed with great grandchildren, Bethany Mitchell, Alexander Mitchell, Sammy Brock, Emily Joachim, Pamela Matthews, Michelle Towns, Rebecca Towns, Phoenix Moon, August Moon, Keegan Moon, Kyle Hill, Micah Hill, Carly Hill, Alyssa Hill, Kylee Wall, Nicholas Palacios, McKenna Seller; and several nieces and nephews.
