Carol Hendrix Davis

Carol Hendrix Davis was born in Merced, California on Jan 13, 1943, returned HOME to Colorado with her Mother at Age 2. Over her lifetime, she lived in many towns, but all roads lead home to Southwest Colorado because the LORD lives here: in the mountains, canyons, rivers, forests, sunrises, sunsets, changing of the seasons and interesting cloud displays. No place on earth can bring the indescribable peace one can feel here.

School and learning were a privilege, graduating Durango High in 1961, but mostly, life's useful lessons were learned from Carol's Dear Mother.

Being a secretary was her goal, after 4 years of working the school office, her career began professionally in 1962 at Beneficial Finance in Durango.

While living in Eastern CO, she worked in several Farmers Insurance offices. Later in her career she was the secretary at the United Methodist Church of Montrose, retiring in 2012, 50 years later.

Wife, Mom and Grandma were her favorite titles, family was her greatest joy, along with her long-time marriage, her Catholic Faith and her hobby, (gathering friends).

Carol's best friend, (her husband of 57 years), Gary Davis, survives, along with their son, Brian and wife Jody, daughters, Donna, Diana, aunt Ardis and cousin, Bill Wolgram. Grandsons, Nicholas, Brent, James Benjamin, Brady and Garrett brought very much joy into her life. Many pets have come and gone, she loved each one dearly, said they loved her back and understood her when no one else did.

Cremation was Carol's wish, a family and friends gathering to spread her ashes will be held, date to be announced. NO other services are planned, and she requests those who knew her would think fondly of her and recall a quote from Actor, Michael Landon, "Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I will remember you: If you cannot remember me with smiles and laughter, then don't remember me at all."

Arrangements are in the care of Crippin Funeral Home, Montrose, CO
