I'm so sorry for your loss, Dave. I never met her but it sounds like she was a beautiful Christian woman. God blessed you and your family with a wonderful wife, Mother, Grandmother, etc.

We are holding Edith Davisson’s entire family, especially my childhood friend/her daughter Cyndi, in our hearts and prayers this week as they prepare to celebrate her life. 💐 I was one of the countless First UMC children in Clarksburg, WV who learned to sing classic hymns in Mrs. Davisson’s Sunday School and Vacation Bible School classes. With her sweet mother, Mrs. Dessent, accompanying on piano, Mrs. Davisson cheerfully coaxed us elementary schoolchildren to learn the lyrics to “Jesus Loves Me,” “Morning Has Broken” and “I’m Gonna Sing (When the Spirit Says Sing.”)🎶 Singing with Mrs. Davisson and Mrs. Dessent was a highlight of my church experience as a child. Mrs. Davisson fostered in me a lifelong love of music and her line method of teaching us music put me far ahead when I went off to 4-H Camp and when we advanced to Don Gardner’s children’s choir at FUMC. [I also think my love of flip charts came from seeing Mrs. Davisson’s neatly handwritten lyrics each Sunday morning.] Most of all, I recall Mrs. Davisson’s good humor with us and her epic patience with our antics. What a treasure she was! Bless you, Edith Davisson. May you know peace. 🕊️ ✝️
