Doris Rae Hawk Davis, 85, of Nampa, passed away peacefully and went to be with the Lord on September 1, 2019 in Boise, Idaho.
She was born on Feb 26, 1934 in Burley, ID to George W. and Mildred Elson Hawk. Upon graduation from Rupert High School in 1952, she attended a 3-year accelerated resident nursing program at St. Mark’s Hospital and Nursing School in Salt Lake City, UT and obtained her Registered Nurse (R.N.) certification in 1955. She married her love Richard L. “Buck” Davis of Pocatello, ID in 1957, and in 2018 they celebrated 61 years of marriage.
Doris was a dedicated and loving wife, mother, nana, and most recently great-nana who loved the Lord, her family, and this great country and the many precious freedoms we enjoy. She was the quintessential caregiver who surrounded her family and friends with a love that surpassed no other. There was always a delicious meal, clean house, and smile or laugh that came with wise advice no matter what the circumstances. She especially took joy in feeding her family (which they thoroughly enjoyed) making sure all the details were just right.
She was also an active member of P.E.O., and served as President of three P.E.O. chapters – one in Moscow, ID and two in Nampa, and had also helped to form a new, second chapter in Nampa.
She is survived by her loving husband Richard L. “Buck” Davis, daughter Rennae Davis (Meridian, ID), son Mark Davis and daughter-in-law Jennifer Davis (Phoenix, AZ), daughter Janet Dukelow and son-in-law Bruce Dukelow (Eagle, ID), grandchildren Taylor Gauthier and her husband Alec Gauthier (Meridian, ID), Matthew, Jacob and Camilla Dukelow (Eagle, ID), Ryan and Stephanie Davis (Phoenix, AZ), great-grandson Liam Gauthier (Meridian, ID) and sister Alice Latta (Denver, CO).
Doris was predeceased by her father George Hawk, mother Mildred Hawk, brother Howard Hawk and sister-in-law Jenny Hawk, and sister Marilyn Landreth.
The family would like to thank Becky Stenkamp and the staff at Edgewood Spring Creek Memory Care, Boise, ID for the loving care shown to Nana.
Your joy, love, laughter (and food) will be dearly missed and your memory will forever be in our hearts.
