Mary Davis Obituary

Mary L. Davis

Mary Louise Davis, 85, of Findlay, passed away Sunday, July 14, 2024, at Birchaven under Bridge Hospice care.

Mary was born Dec. 13, 1938, in Amherst, to Raymond and Wanda (John) Heinzerling. She married Carl E. Davis in 1962 and were married for 54 years when he preceded her in death in 2016.

Mary graduated from Marion L. Steele High School and continued her education, attending Gale Institute in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She was a member of Park Avenue Methodist Church but in recent years, Mary attended Findlay First Assembly of God. Mary retired from Oberlin College from the Registrar's office. But, the work that meant the most to her was serving as a volunteer at The Armes Family Cancer Center in Findlay.

Mary enjoyed gardening, playing games, birdwatching, shopping, and eating out trying all types of good food. More than anything, she loved spending time with friends and family and going to church. Mary's favorite saying in her last few years was "Old age is no fun, before you know it you are done!"

Mary is survived by her children, Mark (Andrea) Davis and Marla (Robert) Dilts; two grandchildren, Macy (Tony) Rader and Cole (Karli) Smith; her only great-grandson, Titus Rader; siblings, Joann Haskins, Bonnie (Ralph) Gumpf, and John (Janet) Heinzerling; sisters-in-law, Letha Davis and Freda Gilbert; and friend of five years, Tom Macdonald of Jerry City.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Carl; brother, Tom Heinzerling; brothers-in-law, Butch Haskins and Dallas Davis; and sister-in-law, Jenny Heinzerling.

Visitation for friends and family will be 3 p.m. Friday, July 19, 2024, until the time of Mary's funeral at 4:30 p.m. at HUFFORD FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 1500 Manor Hill Rd., Findlay, 419-422-1500, with Pastor Glen Hammons officiating.
