Obituary of Mildred E. Davison
Mildred E. Davison, daughter of Jacob and Emma (Plunket) Wagoner was born December 1, 1916 near Westphalia, Kansas. She lived her entire life in Anderson County.
Mildred and her future husband, Marvin L. Davison chose to give their lives to the Lord and were baptized on January 31, 1935, one week before their wedding. Their faith was shown in their fellowship with the Old German Baptist Brethren. In 2009 Mildred began fellowshipping with the New Conference Group.
Marvin and Mildred were married on February 6, 1935 and were blessed with six children, Leanna, Laura, triplets, Lila, Lyle and Lelland, and Leonard.
Mildred was a hard worker and some of her last words to her children were "not to work so hard" and "be careful".
She was blessed with an artistic talent and found joy in painting with oils until her failing eyesight would no longer allow her to paint.
On July 19, 2011 Mildred moved to Guest Home Estate in Garnett, Kansas. She loved her home there and she leaves behind many special friends that she made while there.
Surrounded by her loving children and care givers, Mildred left this world on October 25, 2013 at 3:30 PM. She was 96 years, 10 months, and 25 days of age.
