Carolyn Margaret Davis
Carolyn Bennett Davis was a beautiful girl, extremely funny and amazingly creative. We knew each other as children, growing up on Rosewood Avenue in Ardmore. She always had the best birthday and Halloween parties. Carolyn went to Moore Elementary School then to Reynolds where she was our Black and Gold Beauty Queen. She attended Meredith College where she majored in math and was the first person I ever knew who studied computer operations. At Meredith she was honored as the Maid of Honor for our May Court. She loved to knit and could create fabulous ski sweaters. After graduation she went on to work as a travel agent in Winston-Salem and in New York City, which she fiercely loved. She organized a trek of our Meredith buddies to New York in the early 70's and that same group has gathered annually for over 30 years after that. She was totally devoted to her husband Jim Davis, an attorney who had served in Viet Nam. Jim died of cancer only a few years after they were married. Carolyn tragically died of cancer soon after Jim did, in the early 80's. For those who knew Carolyn, many would say that she was a rare individual in many ways. She had a striking sense of humor and was a devoted friend. Carolyn's family were very active at Home Moravian Church and she is buried in God's Acre.
