In memory of
Margaret Clare Davis
In loving memory of Margaret Clare Davis, born 9th May 1938, mother to Sarah and Julian, wife of Philip and sister to Hilary, Ann and Robert. She will always be remembered with happiness and joy by all her family and many friends. An adventurous woman who loved meeting new people and doing new things. She lived in Norfolk, Kent, London, Manchester, Lancashire, Surrey, Herefordshire and finally settled in Bournemouth with Phillip, to be near her daughter Sarah and husband Jon and their children. Here she built a great life, joining art groups and book groups and the local church and enjoying everything life had to offer. Margaret also enjoyed to travel and she and Philip visited her brother Robert and his family who lived in South Africa and her son Julian and his wife Gael when they lived in Australia.
She had a happy childhood with her siblings in Norfolk and Kent in a loving family with her Mother Kathleen Church and Father Geoffrey Church, where she went to school and made many good friends. She then left home to study at Bedford College in London, where she met many more friends, whom she also stayed in touch with. Philip and Margaret met when Philip was a part of the Sub Aqua Club and they remained in touch with this group, meeting up often for much fun and laughs together. Having moved around a lot through out her life, she took on the challenge of moving to Hereford with Philip when they retired. This was another great adventure and they both thrived there.
Margaret enjoyed the company of her grandchildren, Harry, Jack and Morris very much. She was very close to her sister Hilary and her children Elizabeth, also Margaret's Godchild, and Mary and their children. Her brother's wife Pennie and her children Vanessa, Emma and Robert moved to the UK from South Africa and Margaret loved catching up with them too.
Margaret led a busy and interesting life, filled with friends and family and this was reflected in her last weeks, where she was always surrounded by visitors to her room at the Avery Home in Southbourne. There are too many names to mention here, but we hope to see many of you at her funeral to celebrate her life and our time with her, each remembering her in our own way.
