Obituary of Eunice Davis

Dr. Eunice A Davis (September 25, 1925) passed from this world to her forever home on Wednesday, July 1, 2015 at Shepherd Lodge, Scarborough, ON surrounded by family as 'Hallelujah, I am coming home' played. Eunice, cherished mom to son John (Kathy) Davis; daughter Donnalea (Greg) Madeley; extremely proud Grandma to Brent (Kimberley), Justin (Nicole), John-Michael (Catalina); Joshua (Denise), Kourtney (Ben) & Mackenzie; great grandchildren, Ainsley, Colin and Clark Davis; Sister of Isobel Harris (Norm), Maureen Simmons (predeceased) (late Ben), Jessie Bullock (Keith), Ronald Moncrieff (predeceased) (Edna), Wilfred Moncrieff (predeceased) (late Jane), eldest daughter of the late Melville & Hertha Moncrieff. Eunice was known for her presence, wit, kind heart and generous nature. She lit up any space with her infectious smile and never shied away from offering support to family, friends and even strangers. Eunice's dedication to God and her unconditional love for her family and friends is her legacy today. As an accomplished pianist, recognized by University of Toronto Royal Conservatory of Music, Eunice shared her gift of music to many. Eunice earned her Bachelor of Theology and Doctorate of Ministry to pursue her passion of teaching. She loved sharing with others, encouraging them to live and learn about God by inspiring them to 'just do it!' A verse she lived by is found in Isaiah 40:31King James Version (KJV); 'But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.' Our heartfelt thanks to Patricia Ibrahim and Patrick Springer who blessed Eunice. Their unwavering friendship, love and companionship held a special place in her heart. A very special thank you to the staff at Shepherd Lodge who created a beautiful and loving community for Eunice in her final years.
