Jean Merle (Hammons) Davidson, born March 14, 1930, to Laura (Earls) and Roy Hammons in Northwestern Pulaski County, Arkansas.
She went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Thursday, June 3, 2021. Jean was preceded in death by her dear husband, G.A. Davidson, with whom she enjoyed a long and happy marriage; her precious granddaughter, Laura Mae Davidson; her parents; three sisters, Lillian Stancil, Lois McGowan and Thelma Holden; three brothers, Leonard Hammons, Roland Hammons and Dallas Hammons.
Left to cherish her memory are her children and spouses, Allen Davidson (Martha), Patricia Sarver (Gerry) and John Davidson (David Burke); her three wonderful grandchildren, Matthew Davidson, Caroline Martin (Nick) and Will Sarver (Jessica). Jean is also survived by a host of nieces, nephews and friends.
Her most important things in life were her church, dear family and friends. Jean always said that she was lucky in life, in that she got to do what she wanted to do most: to be a wife, mother, grandmother, homemaker and friend. “Her cup runneth over.” “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
As the family moved many times during her husband’s career – the most important things to consider were her church, her husband and her children and her children’s schools. Jean devoted many hours to the church, the children’s schools and community activities. She was a Sunday school teacher, vacation bible school leader, room mother, Boy Scout leader for her boys and Camp Fire leader for her daughter. Jean loved cooking for her family and working in her garden.

Those we love don’t go away. They walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard, but always near, loved and missed and ever dear. What wonderful memories they leave behind. Treasure them God, in your garden of rest. For in this world, they were the best. – author unknown
