“Meme” Maria Louise White Davis

Born July 25,1968. Our beloved Meme died suddenly on June 23, 2010.

She was a loving mother, wife, daughter and sister. Meme grew up in

Post Falls and graduated from Post Falls High School in 1984 and from

ITT in 1994 with an associate’s degree in technical engineering. She

and her family have lived in the Seattle area for a number of years.

Meme loved to camp and fish and clean her own catch. She loved the

water whether it be ocean, lake or stream. Every spring family and

friends camped in the Tucannon area where the fishing was grand. This

was one of Meme’s favorite times. She loved big family gatherings and

her pumpkin cheesecakes were always a specialty. Every fall she spent

canning — much of which she gave away, especially at Christmastime,

when she made large baskets filled with her homemade baked goodies,

candy and her canned items for everyone.

Meme was a very caring, giving person and just liked people. She loved

lavendar and the color orange and was always ready to give a relieving

massage with her lavendar oil. Several years ago she started regularly

attending church and prayer group preparing for her walk with God. She

became close friends with a wonderful group of Christian women who she

loved dearly. Meme was a wonderful mother to her son Connor. She did

herself proud with her boy. She so loved him.

She is survived by her son Connor and husband Rick Davis of Kirkland,

Wash.; parents Jim and Corky White of Post Falls; stepson Patrick

Davis and wife Christin of Denver, Colo.; sister Jenny Vinyard and

husband Chad; niece Hannah and nephew Jordan of Post Falls; brother

Larry White and wife Melanie and nephew Elijah and wife Bridgette;

nieces Lucy and Matilda of Seattle, Wash.; brother Matt and wife Terri

and niece Katie and nephew Kenny of Post Falls, along with numerous

aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

A memorial gathering is planned at Meme’s parents home in Post Falls,

Saturday July 24 at 3 p.m. Food will be served. Please come and join

us to celebrate Meme’s life and share memories of our beloved girl.
