Verna Elizabeth Davis, a long-time member of the Conroe Church of God-Seventh Day, passes away at 92.
Verna Elizabeth Davis, a devoted member of the Conroe Church of God-Seventh Day, lived a life marked by faith, service, and love. Born on July 20, 1929, in New Waverly, Texas, she grew up on a small family farm in Dobbin, Texas, as the eldest of five siblings. After her father’s passing, she took on significant responsibilities to support her mother and siblings, embodying a spirit of selflessness from an early age.
Verna’s commitment to her faith was evident throughout her life. She was a faithful and active member of the Conroe Church of God-Seventh Day for 61 years, dedicating herself to her community and spiritual practices. Her deep faith extended beyond the church walls, as she was known as a prayer warrior, spending hours each day in prayer for her family, friends, and the broader community. Her spiritual devotion was a central part of her identity and daily life.
After marrying Jeff Davis in Conroe, Verna focused her energy on raising her family. She became a mother on March 16, 1957, and devoted herself to her children and home. Her love for her family was matched only by her generosity, as she made sure her children had packed lunches with personalized notes and a variety of food to ensure their happiness. She also took great care in baking birthday cakes for her daughter and grandchildren, often at their request, and never missed sending out cards for any occasion.
Verna’s life was filled with joy and community. She enjoyed participating in bowling and volleyball leagues with friends, maintaining connections through shared interests. Her love for journaling was another cherished habit, as she recorded her prayers and the weather daily. These journals have become a treasured part of her legacy, offering insight into her thoughts and the world around her.
Verna is preceded in death by her husband Jeff Davis, her parents Frank Smith and Ophelia Smith, her stepfather Albert Novark, her brothers Marion (Smitty) Smith and Edward Smith, and her lifelong friends Virginia Ruth Brann, Ken and Gladys McCoy. She leaves behind a legacy of love and service, remembered by her sisters Lucille Slott and Berniece Johnston, her daughter Jeflyn Brocato and husband Mike, her grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Her life serves as a testament to the values of faith, family, and community. As Micah 6:8 reminds us, to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God, Verna lived these principles with unwavering dedication. Her memory continues to inspire those who knew her, reminding them of the power of love and the importance of living with purpose.
