SHARON MARIE DAVIS
On Saturday, July 4, 2020, Sharon Marie (Fugate) (White) Davis passed away at Clearview Nursing Home in Mount Ayr, IA. Sharon was born in Beaconsfield, IA on October 24, 1939 to Haldon and LaVerne Fugate, one of three children. She grew up in Ringgold County and attended Kellerton High School. In 1958, she married Jimmie White. Two children were born of this union, Jacqueline (White) Brown and James White. The marriage ended in divorce. In 1969, Sharon married Sam Davis. One child was born of this union, Charles (Chuck) Davis. Sharon also received three stepchildren from Sam, Samuel Davis, Alisa (Davis) Payton and Ruthann (Davis) (Whelchel) Davis.
Sharon worked different jobs in her early years before receiving her LPN from Maricopa Technical College in Phoenix, AZ. She later returned to that college and received her RN. Sharon then worked as a nurse in Iowa, Missouri, Arizona and New Mexico until illness forced her to retire in 2007. She loved nursing but loved being a mother and grandmother even more.
