Linda Jo Lorance Davis was born April 9, 1947 in Culleoka, Texas to Helen Geneva Henager Lorance and Joe Frank Lorance.  She was called to Heaven from her loving home August 3, 2019.  She married on November 26, 1969 to Jimmy Harold Davis.  She was the oldest of 8 children who grew up a Farmer’s Daughter in Hunt County and later took up a career as a switchboard operator with Southwestern Bell until she became a full time mother and loving homemaker for her own children and husband, still making time to help her mother and father work in the field on the farm where they raised and sold the best tasting cantaloupes that could be found for miles around.

She later returned to work as a Switch Board Operator for Wysong’s Hospital, then as a salesclerk for JcPenney Retail and retired completely in 2017 from Feagin’s Supermarket where she loved to see her small town friends and family on a daily basis.

She was an avid reader and enjoyed gardening, sitting on the front porch, watching her flock of ducks, taking her little dog “Bobby” for golf cart rides and an occasional trip to the Casino.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Joe Frank Lorance and Helen Geneva (Henager) Lorance, brother Michael Ray Lorance and loving Husband, Jimmy Harold Davis, all of Merit, Texas.

She was a woman of strong Christian Faith, who was a true believer in honest, humanity and reaching out to care for and help all of God’s Children.  We will always carry her in our hearts.
