Remembering Natalie Davis

Natalie Davis was born into this world on October, 21, 1956, and sadly departed on June 22, 2025. Natalie was a loyal and kindhearted spirit. She held many titles—daughter, sister, wife, aunt, grandmother—but most importantly, Mother.

Natalie did whatever she could to help those she loved. She made it her life’s mission to ensure her daughter felt loved, protected, and cared for. Her dedication to her daughter was evident in everything she did. Though life dealt Natalie a tough hand, she faced every challenge with courage, always striving to make the best of each situation. With every obstacle, she emerged stronger and more determined.

She lived most of her life in Pineville, Louisiana. Though she spent several years in Arkansas, she ultimately returned to Louisiana, the place she truly considered home. Natalie loved deeply, and when she loved someone, it was for life.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Gladys and Donald Richards; her first husband, James Mauritz; her second husband, Ronald Davis; and her sister, Melissa Richards. While she never remarried, she found love and joy again later in life with James, with whom she shared happiness until his untimely passing.

She is survived by her daughter, Misty Davis; her granddaughter, Baylee Davis; and her sisters, Susan Butler, Debbie Funderburk, Donna Duncan, and Siobhan Lyons. She also leaves behind many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends who cherished her deeply.

Natalie will be profoundly missed by those who love her, but the Lord has called her home. We are left with treasured memories and stories that will keep her close in our hearts.

Until we meet again…
