Pauline Haywood Davis

Pauline Haywood Davis, 83, formerly of Dayton, Texas, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 19, 2020, at her daughter’s home in Bonaire, Georgia, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on March 17, 1937, in Longview, Texas, to the late Thomas and Gladys Marrow Haywood. Pauline, affectionately known as “Memaw” by so many, was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.

Pauline enjoyed shopping at Belks, going to the casino, and playing slot machines. Spending time with her children and grandchildren were most important to her. While Pauline was a longtime resident of Texas, for the past thirteen months, she called Bonaire, Georgia her home where she lived with her daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter. Prior to that, Pauline was a twelve-year resident of Blossom, Texas. For many years she was a member of Fellowship Baptist Church in Blossom. Pauline has a sweet soul and a smile that could light up any room. She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. All who knew her loved her.

Honoring the family by serving as pallbearers will be her sons, Doug Davis, Frankie Davis, Ricky Davis, and Bobby “Hoss” Davis.

Pauline was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband of 32 years, Franklin Delano Davis; and her brothers Junior Haywood, Bob Haywood, and Luney Haywood.
