Mary Belle Davis

Mary Belle Davis, 78, was called home on Saturday, May 17, 2025 in the comfort of her own home.

Mary was born September 26, 1946 in Carter, TN to Pattabone Arnette and Florence Delouche. Mary would speak of fond memories of home, and always had a funny story to tell about her and her siblings.

In 1964, Mary graduated from Happy Valley High School and moved to North Carolina, where she met her soon-to-be husband, Floyd Davis. They met at a church event, and soon after began going steady. They married on February 19, 1965, and were together over 60 years, residing in Cornelius.

Mary loved cooking homemade meals, going to church, and spending time with family. She also loved to watch soap operas, and listen to artists such as Elvis Presley and George Strait.

Mary is survived by her husband, Floyd Davis, as well as her four daughters Tammy (Davis) Pierson, Ruth (Davis) Dahlen, Judy (Davis) Strider, and Margaret Davis; seven grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. She is also survived by brother Ned Arnette, and sisters Bertha Asher and Linda McDaniel.

She was preceded in death by her son Tommy Paul Davis. May they find one another again as she’s laid to rest.

Mary will be most remembered for her cooking, smile, and how kind she was to those around her.

The family will receive friends on Friday, May 23, 2025 from 2:00 - 3:00 PM at Raymer-Kepner Funeral Home of Huntersville. A funeral service will be held after the visitation at 3:00 PM.
