SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 420
In Memory
of
Yolanda JoAn Davis
WHEREAS, Friends and family are mourning the loss of
Yolanda JoAn Davis of Plano, who passed away on February 10,
2017, at the age of 71; and
WHEREAS, The daughter of Rudy and Wilma Duffie Mallonee,
the former JoAn Mallonee was born on March 7, 1945, in Yuba City,
California; she moved to Alaska with her family six years later
and attended West Anchorage High School, where she received her
diploma in June 1963; and
WHEREAS, That same month, she exchanged the vows of
matrimony with Larry Davis at a ceremony in Anchorage; during the
course of a rewarding marriage that spanned more than half a
century, they became the proud parents of three sons, Larry,
Collin, and Jared, and two daughters, Christie and Holly, and as
the years passed, the couple had the pleasure of seeing their
family grow to include 27 grandchildren and a great-grandson,
with whom they enjoyed spending many special occasions; and
WHEREAS, Sustained from a young age by a profound faith,
Mrs. Davis was a valued congregant of Bull Creek Cowboy Church in
Lone Oak, Texas; her life was further enriched by her artistic
endeavors and her involvement with the Greenville Art League; and
WHEREAS, JoAn Davis touched countless lives with her quiet
and caring spirit, and although she will be deeply missed, her
family and friends may take comfort in the knowledge that she is
in the presence of her savior; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the life of Yolanda JoAn Davis
and extend sincere condolences to her family and many friends;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
her family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns this day, it do
so in memory of JoAn Davis.
