Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.

Deborah Davis, loving wife of Jim Davis, passed away peacefully on January 27, 2023 at Avow Hospice House in Naples, FL after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. She was born on  February 13,1952 to Howard C Bailey and Velma R (Lucas) Bailey who both preceded her in death. Debbie is survived by Jim, her husband of 49 years, her 2 sons, Jeffery and Andrew, daughter-in-law, Yessica and 2 grandchildren, Leah and James Phillip. She is also survived by her sister, Kimberly Bailey, of Las Vegas, NV. Her family was everything to her and gave her immeasurable joy. 

Debbie graduated from Ironton High School in 1970 and attended Ohio University before becoming a stewardess for United Airlines in 1972. Debbie and Jim were married at St Joseph Church in Ironton on September 1, 1973. Debbie was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Her family was her priority in all that she did. She was a majorette in high school and one of her passions was dancing. She taught aerobic dancing in 3 states for nearly 20 years. Jim always said that he not only married the prettiest girl in town but the sweetest as well. She touched so many people with her beautiful smile and warmth. She was incredibly unpretentious, genuine and sincere.
