Joann C. Davis

JoAnn Charlotte Davis, 79, of Morgantown, went to meet her maker on her own terms as an amazing, feisty, strong willed, god-loving woman. She was born March 22, 1939 in Star City, a daughter of the late Charles and Fannie McCann Kohler. She was employed for many years at WVU Towers, retiring from the housekeeping department. In her final years, she was a member of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Morgantown.

JoAnn left us on Saturday, October 20, 2018 at J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital. She was surrounded in her final days by those she loved the most. As her family shared their favorite memories, she spoke of how much each of them meant to her. Her final words shared her love and pride for each one of her loved ones. She insisted that all remember her and keep her in their hearts.

In JoAnn’s spare time, she loved spending time with her dog, Dora. Her greatest joy was taking care of her grandchildren and collecting their pictures, drawings, and paintings. JoAnn always put others needs before her own. She will be remembered for her drawer full of candy and cookies, her love of a good deal, her habit of sneaking grandchildren snacks and toys with a “Shhhhh, don’t tell your parents”, and her constant kind and supportive ear. She will be greatly missed and always remembered by those who knew her. She left this world knowing how dearly she was and will always be loved.

In addition to her faithful canine companion, Dora, she is survived by sons William Hearn, Jr. and wife Rita, Curtis Davis, Jr. and wife Debbie; daughters Kathy Grassel and husband David, Joyce Miller and husband Brad; and a sister Pearl Summers.

JoAnn is survived by her loving grandchildren Robyn Bennett, Angela Fletcher, Becky McCauley Rench, Sabrina McCauley, Joy Riley, Adrianna Panik-Hearn, Michael Dawson, Kristie Dawson, Brittany Davis, Joshua Davis, Noah Davis; and great grandchildren, Brendan, Kevin, Jana, Brooklyn, Isabel, Dylan, Chloe, and Paxton.

In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her daughter Nancy Hearn, one brother and four sisters.

Friends will be received at Fred L. Jenkins Funeral Home on Tuesday, October 23, 2018 from 2-4pm & 6-8pm and again on Wednesday from 10am until the time of funeral services at 11am with Pastor Jeff Huggins officiating. Burial will follow at East Oak Grove Cemetery.
