Mary Anne Davis

  It is with great sadness to report the peaceful passing of much beloved Mary Anne Davis on May 13, 2025, surrounded by friends and family.

  Born in 1942, Mary Anne graduated in 1964 from Wichita University where she met James G. Davis. Together they lived a life full of art and travel (including trips to such places as Egypt, Greece, and the South Seas and spending extensive time in Germany and Spain). Those voyages greatly influenced an epic teaching career spanning 35 years at San Manuel High School. Her mentorships resulted in long lasting friendships. Many still call her simply “Mrs. Davis”.

  She is survived by her son, Turner; sisters, Barbara and Sarah; and grandchildren, Wyeth, Victoria and Josephine. She will be sorely missed.

  There will be a memorial at St. Helen’s Catholic Church (66 E Maplewood St, Oracle, AZ 85623) at noon on Saturday, June 7, followed by a celebration of life at the Wilson Barn (2346 W. Linda Vista Rd. Oracle, AZ 85623) at 3 p.m.
