Geneva Mae Davis, age 74 of Salisbury, passed away Saturday, September 22, at Peninsula Regional Medical Center after battling a long illness. She was born in Salisbury, a daughter of the late Osten Ray and Mildred Thomas Wingate. Geneva's life was interrupted prematurely, but she leaves all those who knew her in awe of her strength. She worked at Salisbury Manufacturing for several years. She was a very loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who adored her family and her special dog "Tiger." Years ago Geneva and her late husband Bob enjoyed bowling and family gatherings such as boating, crabbing, BBQs, and card parties which also included many dear friends. She also loved to crochet and go to auctions and yard sales.

Layfield of Laurel. She is also survived by a sister, June Truitt; two special friends, Roni Lane of Salisbury and Charles E. Layfield of Laurel; and several nieces and nephews. Geneva leaves behind 13 grandchildren: Robbie, Chris, William, Franny, Keith, Michelle, Alicia, Jr., Garry, Bob, Curtis, Jennifer, and Ray. She also leaves behind 19 great grandchildren, all very dear to her heart. She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert D. Davis; a grandson, B.J.; a great granddaughter, Layla; a brother, Kelly Wingate of Florida; and a sister, Joan of Wingate.
