Funeral Services for Mrs. JoAnn Davis, age 81 of Pinson, will be held on Saturday, March 1, 2025 at 2:00 P.M. at Jefferson Memorial Funeral Home with Pastor Paul Brasher officiating. Burial will follow in the adjoining gardens. 

JoAnn passed away on Monday, February 24, 2025 at UAB St. Vincent’s East. Jo Ann was a loving and devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, Nana, aunt, and friend. She was born and raised in Pell City, AL by her loving parents, Brad and Ruth James. She graduated from Pell City High School in 1961 and moved to Birmingham, AL where she met her best friend of 60 plus years, Pat Graves. In 1967, she met her loving husband, Robert (Bobby) Davis and they were married two years later in 1969. She had two children, Bart and Leigh Ann, who she loved dearly. She worked for B&J Mechanical for some time and then began her long career as a bookkeeper at Blankenship and Porter Co. While there, she was fortunate enough to work with her best friend, sister (Marie), and many other longtime friends for many years. Upon retiring, she became a doting Nana to her two adoring grandchildren, Alex and Daisy. She enjoyed baking, cooking, and spending quality time with her family at her home in Palmerdale, AL. Additionally, she became an avid quilter and enjoyed the occasional cross stich project. She loved to travel and see new places, but her favorite place of all to visit was the beach, any beach. She, and her mischievous smile with a twinkle in her eye, will truly be missed.

She is survived by her loving husband of nearly 55 years, Robert “Bobby” Davis, her son, Bart Davis (Melissa Stewart Davis), her daughter, Leigh Ann Mount (James), her grandchildren, Alex and Daisy Mount, her sister, Marie Rogala, her best friend, Pat Graves and a host of nieces, nephews and extended family.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Bradford James and Ruthie Bell Franklin James.

James Mount, Alex Mount, Jeff Wood, Zach Barnes, friends and family will serve as Pallbearers.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, March 1, 2025 from 1:00 P.M. until service time at 2:00 P.M. at Jefferson Memorial Funeral Home.
