MARJORIE ELLEN DAVIS - HOMOSASSA, Fla. - Marjorie Ellen Davis, born May 18, 1940, in Peeksville, N.Y., passed to the Lord on Sept. 24, 2011, at home in Homosassa, Fla., with family members at her side. Marge was born the daughter of Douglas and Alice Grant of Croton On The Hudson, N.Y. Marjorie graduated from Croton Harmon High School and went on to nursing school in Valhalla, N.Y. After marrying Merton Davis, the two moved to Vermont to begin raising their family. As her children grew up, she worked full time at the University of Vermont, where she became manager of the Micro Computer Depot. Upon her retirement in 1993, she and Mert moved to Homosassa, Fla., where they joined the First United Methodist Church. Marge was very active in the UMW, managing the church thrift store, as well as serving as queen mom in the Red Hat Society. Marge had many talents and interests; these included playing both the organ and piano and singing in her church choir in Manassas, Va. She also sang and played the organ in her home church in Vermont. Marge loved the Girl Scouts and served as District Girl Scout Director in both Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia. While living in Manassa, Va., Marge volunteered in the local school as a teacher's assistant. She enjoyed camping with her family, sewing for her children, teaching crafts, playing music and singing, playing cards and cruising the world. While entertaining her friends on holidays, her smile, laughter, and sense of humor made her the life of the party. Throughout her life, Marge was best known as a very caring, loving and compassionate person. Marge is survived by her husband of fifty-one years, Merton Davis; her brother, Douglas Grant, Jr., of Stuart, Fla.; daughter, Debra Lang and husband, Jonathan Lang, as well as their children, Justin and Chloe, all of Essex Junction; and daughter, Susan Davis Valentine and her son, Nicolas Coons, also of Essex Junction.
