Mable Marie Davis, daughter of Clyde Evert and Beatrice (Long) Miller, was born July 19, 1927, near Brumley, Missouri. She departed this life October 15, 2020, in Mercy Hospital at Lebanon, Missouri, at the age of ninety-three years, two months and twenty-six days. On May 31, 1952, in Iberia, Missouri, Mable was united in marriage to Marvin Milton Davis, and they shared sixty-six years together. They were blessed with four children: Mildred, Maxine, Clyde and Margie. She grew up in the Iberia/Brumley area and graduated from Iberia High School. She became a Teacher, and taught in Iberia, in Rabbit Head one room school. In later years she taught in the Plato and Success schools. In earlier years she worked at Fort Leonard Wood in the Finance Department. This is where she met Marvin, passing out paychecks. After they were married, they purchased a small farm in 1955 in Iberia. Marvin was called into the ministry and they made their home in various communities where they served the church. The last church Marvin pastored was Hopewell Baptist Church at Big Piney. They were there for 34 years. Mable is still a member there. Her family was very important to her. She dearly enjoyed spending time with them and caring for them. She loved taking walks and being outdoors.
