On July 14, 2021 Suzann Alleyne Davis – loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother entered into the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. On July 9 she was able to celebrate her 73rd wedding anniversary with family and friends.
Suzann was born on December 12, 1930 in Clawson Michigan to Gordon and Sarah (Petrie) Phillips, the first of five beautiful daughters. She graduated from Clawson High School and shortly after on July 9, 1948 married Charles (Chuck) Davis. While Chuck continued college studies, Sue worked at Bell telephone and an Insurance office.
Moving to Glendale CA in 1950, Sue worked for a time at Jessie Smith Ford until they settled in Granada Hills in the San Fernando Valley. Raising a family of three children, Victoria, Jonathan and Kimberly, Sue loved to sew, making dresses for her daughters and when the grandchildren started coming, soon found the joy of quilting. Quilts for each grandchild (9) to sleep with, baby quilts for each great (18) grandchild and finally quilts for (2) great great grandsons. Sue really enjoyed the many friends she knew through the quilting guilds and the challenge of the Ventura County Fair and the several blue ribbons she won!
To stay close to her sisters living in different parts of the country, after the death of their parents, the five sisters held reunions for 30 successive years in different parts of the country.
Throughout her life, Sue participated in church fellowship wherever they lived and was an encourager to all her family and friends. She especially enjoyed sponsorship of teenage training programs and loved hosting Home Bible Studies and Care Groups for adults.
Sue was preceded in death by her parents, Gordon and Sarah Phillips, her sister Mary Jane Harding and grandson Jake. She is survived by her husband Chuck, her three children and their spouses Vicki and Don Moormeister (Melba, ID) Jon and Lisa Davis (Palm Coast, FL) and Kim and Buck Hyde (Santa Margarita CA), three sisters, Sally Gegenheimer, Alice Gooding and Toni Weeden, eight grandchildren, eighteen great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren.
SUE – We miss you and the joy you brought to our lives, your love for family, friends and neighbors, quick wit when least expected, happy smile and laughter and ability to teach by example.
