Katherine "Dean" Davis of Covington, passed away Tuesday, May 14, 2019, at the age of 73. Katherine was a longtime active member of Almon Baptist Church. She served in many roles within the church including as a deacon's wife and choir member. "Nanny" or "Big Nanny", as she was affectionately known, loved her family and always wanted everyone together. Her favorite holidays were Thanksgiving and Christmas where she was known for making her dressing and her famous chocolate delight pie. You could always count on her being present in the crowd, whether it be a football game, spelling bee, school plays or award ceremonies. She was her family's biggest cheerleader. She was strong-willed, independent and spoke her mind, but also had a good sense of humor and liked to cut up. Katherine took great pride in her appearance; she enjoyed going to the beauty shop and was always nicely dressed. She liked gospel and country music and was a fan of the Georgia Bulldogs. Katherine was preceded in death by her husband, whom she missed dearly, Douglas "Doug" Davis; parents, Mahlon and Clyde (Carroll) Burton; sisters, Shirley and Lucy.
Survivors include her daughters and sons-in-law, Belinda and Michael Bowen, Deana Bailey and Kevin White; grandchildren, Shannon and Jason Mock, Lesley Bowen, Tyler Bailey; great-grandchildren, Austin Mock, Adriana Dawson, Anslee Mock, Natalee Dawson, Aubrey Dawson; sisters, Francis Smith, Louise Anschutz, Ann Skelton, Elaine Evans; brothers, Lewis Burton, Carlton "Carty" Burton; numerous nieces and nephews and sister-in-Christ, Shelley Jackson.
