I will make thee ruler over many things, enter thou into the joy of the Lord.” Matthew 25:21 On Monday, November 16, 2020, with her family praying by her side, Virgie Davis, age 94, was called home peacefully to her reward. A resident of Elizabethton, Virgie was born in the Poga Community of Butler, Tennessee, the oldest of eight children born to the late Charlie and Delia Mann Trivette. She is also preceded in death by her beloved husband of 54 years, Jack A. Davis; a beloved son, James Andrew (Jim) Davis; a granddaughter, Shauna Hutton; two step grandchildren, Dale Collins and Maria Bennett; three brothers, Culbie Trivette, R.C. Trivette and Elliott Trivette; and three sisters, Ellen Rasnick, Francis Guinn and Dessie Blankenship. Virgie was a woman of many talents and interests. Above all she was a homemaker, making her home with her husband and children was her greatest joy and achievement. She was a firm believer in her Savior and taught her children those values with great pride. She was of the Apostolic faith and had been both a Sunday School teacher and a youth leader. She had worked for the Carter County School System and after retirement from there she became a Master Insurance Agent for United Family Life Insurance Company where she was of great comfort to those acquiring final need expenses. Virgie served as a volunteer in many places – among those she was a hospital volunteer, a volunteer at Roan Mountain Campground, she volunteered at God’s Little Storehouse where she fed the homeless, various food pantries and the Girl’s Group Home of Elizabethton. Virgie had a servant’s heart and was a servant and friend to everyone and loved serving those in need. She, along with her husband enjoyed camping and he also joined her in her endeavors of feeding and caring for the homeless in their community. Virgie leaves a legacy which will live on in those she leaves behind to one day join her which include her devoted children, Reverend Edward Davis and wife Shirley, Reverend William H. Davis and wife Jackie, and Reverend Jeff Davis and wife Kim, all of Elizabethton and Linda Hutton-Collins and husband Ben, of Gray, TN; twelve grandchildren; fifteen great grandchildren; four great great grandchildren; and one brother, Reverend Charlie Trivette, Jr. and wife Irene, of Elizabethton. Also many nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and neighbors are left to cherish and remember Virgie’s beautiful memory and works.
