Doris Grant Davis
March 10, 1930 – September 26, 2025
Doris Grant Davis, 95, of Mechanicsville, VA, passed away on September 26, 2025 surrounded by loved ones, peacefully at home. She was born on March 10, 1930, in Louisa, VA, to the late Daisy and Melvin Grant.
Doris dedicated her life to caring for others, working as a nurse for many years. Her compassion and strength left a lasting impact on countless lives. She was a force to be reckoned with—stubborn and feisty, yet fiercely loving. Doris never missed a birthday of a friend or loved one, always making sure those around her felt remembered and cherished. She loved hosting gatherings, riding around in her convertible while listening to Alan Jackson, and catching a sale at the mall. Her dogs, Sweetie and Zoey, were her constant companions and brought her endless joy.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Earl Davis; her son, Marc; her parents, Daisy and Melvin; and former husbands Bill Wood and Dowl Harris. Doris is survived by her daughter, Brenda, and son-in-law, Gary; her stepdaughter, Amy; her grandchildren, Stephen, Angel, and Gabi; her great-grandchildren, Erika and Brandon; and her great-great-grandchildren, Autumn, Oliver, Oaken, Jayden, and PJ.
