Saundra Davis

September 25, 1941 — July 22, 2018

Saundra Davis passed away in her daughter's home on July 22, 2018, at the age of 76.

Saundra was born in rural Putnam County on September 25, 1941, to Claude A. and Norma Ruth (Butler) Robinson. She was raised in Martinstown and Worthington, Missouri. Saundra attended primary school in Martinstown, Worthington, and Lowground and her high school years were spent in Livonia. She was married to Larry Cullum and to this union three children, LeAnn Blankenship, Larry “Joe” Cullum, and Lisa VanVelzer were born. Saundra married the love of her life, Carl Lee Davis on April 5, 1968, and to this union Theresa Branscom and Carleena Brown were born. After Carl passed Saundra married Larry Davis and they enjoyed traveling and each other's companionship. Carl and Saundra's marriage began in Peoria, Illinois, where Carl was a iron worker. The family returned to rural Putnam county, where they purchased a farm south of Worthington. Saundra enjoyed cooking for her family, gardening, canning, and embroidery. She also loved hunting and fishing with her family and Carl often bragged of her ability to skin fish faster than anyone he had ever met. She was a member of the Omaha Baptist Church and had a very strong faith in God. Saundra worked as a Certified Nurse's Assistant at the Schuyler County Nursing Home and Putnam County Memorial Hospital and found reward in helping others. In her later years she drove the OATS Bus and continued to find this rewarding, Saundra spent the majority of her life on the family farm in Putnam County where she was most happy. She enjoyed spending time with cousins Sherry and Sid Shortt in Georgia and looked forward to their visits. Saundra's pride and joy were her grandchildren and she used every opportunity to brag of their accomplishments.
