Carolyn Davis, 77, of Morganton, NC, received her eternal healing and heavenly home on Wednesday, March 16, 2022.  Born in Henderson County, NC on April 22, 1944, she was the daughter of the late Frank Mathis and Elizabeth Robinson Mathis, and her step-mother, Zelda Mae Mathis.  Carolyn was a member of Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church where she sang in the choir, served as a Sunday school teacher, and worked with the children’s ministry and music.

Carolyn retired from Leviton and Walmart.  She loved spending time with her beloved family more than anything.  She enjoyed dancing and singing, and she especially loved reading her bible. 

A devoted mother and grandmother, Carolyn is survived by her daughters, Beth McClellan (Jason), Elaine Burkett (Keith), and Marie Brittain (Todd); grandchildren, Kelsey Smith, Luke McClellan, Anna Burkett, Anthony Burkett, Jodi Whiteside (Caleb), and Zack Brittain; great-grandchild, Finley Raye Whiteside; sisters, Barbara Kilby, Susan Dixon, Frankie Covington, and Phyllis Metcalf; a number of nieces and nephews; and her canine companion, Toby.

In addition to her parents, Carolyn was preceded in death by her husband, Woodard Davis; and numerous beloved siblings.

The family will receive friends from 1 to 2 p.m., Saturday, March 19, 2022 at Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church.  The funeral will be held at 2 p.m. in the church with the Revs. J.D. Grant, Brian Buckner, Billy Holland, and Douglas Mathis officiating.  Burial will follow in the church cemetery.  The family will gather at Carolyn’s home.

Memorial contributions may be made to The Outreach Center – Food Distribution, P.O. Box 1003, Morganton, NC 28680.
