Sharlene Dianne Davis

On March 18, 2013, Heavenly Father called one of his very special souls, Sharlene Dianne (Gordon) Davis, home.  She passed peacefully, surrounded by her loving family at the home of her son Ryan after bearing many years of health challenges. 

Sharlene was born in Bremerton, WA, March 27, 1941, to James (Jim) and Wilma Gordon.  She lived most of her childhood and youth in Seattle, WA.

She attended the University of Washington where she met Jay Neil Davis.  They were married in August 1962.  While he served as a Naval officer, they made their home in several locations including California, Maryland, Connecticut, and Hawaii.  They eventually settled in Idaho where they raised their beautiful family. 

It is not possible to reduce the magnitude of Sharlene’s influence in this world to a few words.  All those who knew and loved her will miss her. 

Sharlene was preceded in death by her parents, Jim and Wilma, and two grandchildren Courtney and Andrew. 

She is survived by her husband, Jay, their five children and spouses: Sean and Candice, Erin and Steve, Ashli and Brandon, Ryan and Hayee, Tim and Susan and 23 grandchildren.
