Obituary
Faye Dahl Davis 1920-2013
Faye Davis passed away peacefully in her sleep early Sunday morning, March 24th, after a year-long struggle with cancer. She and, her twin sister Fern Holand, were born in Hedgesville, Montana on July 10, 1920.
Faye was a blue-eyed blonde with a quick smile, who lived a story-book life, first moving west where she managed the family grocery store in North Seattle, after graduating from Flathead Montana High School in 1938. In the summer of 1945 she was swept off her feet and married the love of her life, Army-Air Force officer Charles A. Davis, Jr. from Hope, Alaska. He survives her after nearly sixty-eight years of marriage. They lived in Alaska for several years, after his return from the Pacific as a B-29 pilot during WWII. In Anchorage he flew as a Captain for Pacific Northern Airlines. They moved to Normandy Park, Washington, near the Sea-Tac Airport, in 1953, when the PNA merged into Western Airlines, where Chuck retired after thirty-six years of flying.
Faye is survived by, three children: son Charles A. Davis, III, and his wife Patsy; daughter Nancy, and her husband Cliff Hollenbeck; son Jerry, and his wife Melissa; and a total of seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She was adored by her family and a wide circle of friends, who will miss her greatly.
We were honored to call Faye a friend for many years. She had a quick smile and a gracious manner and it was always such a pleasure to visit her and Chuck. She will be missed by many. Our hearts are with her entire family. May the love she shared give each of you strength.
