Mrs. Davies received her education in Toronto, Canada, graduating from the University of Toronto at the top of her class in physiotherapy.
Before marriage, she was employed by the Toronto Children’s Hospital and then served two years as a lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Army as a physiotherapist.
She was a member of Vestavia Hills United Methodist Church, enjoyed collecting antiques, dolls, stamps and coins, and found great pleasure in gardening.
The deep devotion of her life was her family. They spent many happy years traveling, and at their home in Birmingham, where she was a loving wife, mother and grandmother.
