Ethel Delores Anthony Davis, age 83, of Lynchburg, Virginia departed this life Sunday, November 17, 2013. Born in Bedford, Virginia, on May 7, 1930, she was the daughter of the late Olivia Anthony and Joshua Anthony. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Sheila Jackson; her son, Andre' Davis, seven sisters, Paulene Brown, Elna Wheeler, Alberta Anthony, Patricia Harris, Louise Jones, Ola Ross, and Irishella Anthony, and seven brothers, Waddell Anthony, Granville Anthony, Carrington Anthony, Marcus Anthony, Eugene Anthony, Joshua Anthony Jr., and Randolph Anthony. Ethel was raised in Bedford, VA, and later moved to New Jersey where she spent the majority of her life. While in New Jersey, she worked at Western Electric as a manager for many years until her retirement. She enjoyed music, dancing, reading, and shopping. She adored her family; and taking care of her children and grandchildren was what she loved most. She spent a great deal of time assuring that her family's history was passed down from generation to generation. Her large, loving and devoted family served as her support network, and they are the people that she spent the most of her time with. She will certainly be missed, and her legacy will live on. Ethel leaves to mourn her devoted husband of 63 years, Reginald Davis, Sr. of Lynchburg, VA; son, Reginald Davis, Jr. and daughter-in-law, Donna Davis of Lynchburg, VA; daughter-in-law, Dietra Davis of Sterling, VA.; seven grandchildren, Artea Davis of New Jersey, Ashley Jackson, of Chesapeake, VA, Deidra Davis of Sterling, VA, Rana Davis of Woodbridge, NJ, Andre' Braxton of Sterling, VA, Alexis Davis of Lithonia, GA, and Trevon Witherspoon of Detroit, MI; one great granddaughter, Brittany Bridges of Franklin, NJ; a devoted friend, Mrs. Dottie Newby of New York, and a host of other nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
