Mrs. Davis was born January 4, 1937 in Cincinnati, OH to Dr. Philip B. and Natalie Carpenter deMaine. She grew up in the Akron area.
She was awarded the Buchtel High School Womanhood Award for outstanding qualities as a young woman upon graduating from high school. Mrs. David later graduated with honors from Bryn Athyn College in 1958 and taught school for one year prior to being married.
Her Husband, Joseph S. David whom she married on June 8, 1958 in Bryn Athyn Cathedral survives.
She was a stay at home mother until her children were all in school, at which point she began teaching for Franklin Area School District, where she retried in 1997. It was a career she truly enjoyed and had a special affection for her students and their parents.
Mrs. David and her husband moved from Franklin to Grove City in 2002, when she became active in the Library Bridge Group, serving as coordinator for several years.

Her religion and her family were the center of her life. Every year, between Christmas and New Years, all 32 members of her family gathered for an annual reunion for three days of fun which ended with a short worship Service led by her husband. The reunion has created a host of happy memories and a link among the cousins that will endure.
