Life story

This page is dedicated to the memory of my grandparents, **Dewey Clayton Davis** and **Blannie Davis**, and my mother, **Judy Davis Roberson**, my aunt and uncle, **James and Angie Davis**

My grandfather, **Dewey Clayton Davis**, age 67, of 1810 West 8th Avenue, Florala, Alabama, passed away on Saturday, January 11, 1997, at a hospital in Opp. He was a World War II veteran and worked as the foreman at Henson Pole Mill in Lockhart until retiring because of ill health. He was preceded in death by his son, **James Wyatt Davis**, in 1996, and his daughter-in-law, **Angie Davis**, in 1992.

Since then, our family has also lost my grandmother, **Blannie Davis**, who passed away in 2000, and my mother, **Judy Davis Roberson**, who passed away in 2025.

I am Dewey and Blannie's only granddaughter, Buffy, and I created this page to honor all of them and preserve their legacy. Their stories, kindness, laughter, and love deserve to be remembered for generations to come.

If you knew any of them, I would love for you to share your memories, stories, and photographs here. Whether it's a funny story, a special moment, an old family picture, or just a few kind words, every memory is precious and will help keep their legacy alive.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the lives of three very special people who will always be deeply loved and never forgotten. ❤️
