Onlee Davis
d. February 6, 2014
Onlee Omega Davis was born in Chenoa, Kentucky on May 22, 1929. She died on February 6, 2014 at her beloved farm in Falmouth, Kentucky. Onlee, also known by many as "Meg", was the 3rd of 5 children born to Dorsey and Jannie Partin of Frakes, Ky. She is predeceased by her brothers Roy, John, Gib, sister Alta and both her parents. She left home at 13 to attend God's Bible School in Cincinnati, Ohio. Her experience there influenced her throughout her life. She was a woman of strong faith and convictions, and carried her faith and her Bible with her always. After leaving Cincinnati, she returned to Middlesboro, Kentucky where she completed her study as a licensed practical nurse. She was proud of her profession, and was an incomparable and compassionate nurse for over 20 years. Onlee was known by all for her love of God, family, all children and nature. She was generous to family, friends, and strangers alike. No one was a stranger for long as she had an amazing gift for conversation and compassion. For her entire 84 years she had the gift of seeing the world with the excitement and wonder of a child.
Onlee lived in Cincinnati, Ohio for most of her adult life, and lived between her farm in Falmouth and her home in Homosassa, Florida for the past 20 years. She had many faithful friends in Florida, but returned to her farm to be close to family during her final months.
Onlee was married and widowed more than once, but she always said the true love of her life was Laurence L. Davis. They were married November 7, 1973, and were married until Mr. Davis' death in 1995. Reflecting her southern heritage, Onlee called her husband "Mr. Davis" to others throughout much of their marriage, but he was always "Poppy" to loved ones.
She leaves to celebrate her memory her children: Rick Foland, Stella Logan and her husband Michael Turner, Sam Logan, Greg Logan, and Nancy Ballinger; grandchildren Darcey Turner, Jennifer Logan, Reed Turner, Ellie Logan, Ethan Ballinger and Morgan Ballinger; forever daughter-in-law Clare Logan, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends beyond count.
Special thanks are due to Dr. Edward Jung who cared for her with utmost skill and compassion for many years, Dr. Drosick and the team at OHC, Hospice of Hope of Kentucky especially Diana and Bethany. Life would not have been the same for Onlee without her companion and caregiver of the last years, Caroline Howard.
Arrangements are through Vorhis & Ryan Funeral Home, 5501 Montgomery Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45212. Visitation will be at Vorhis & Ryan Funeral Home Tuesday February 11 from 6-7:30 pm. Services will be held at Indian Hill Church on Wednesday February 12 at 2 pm. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to God's Bible School, the American Cancer Society, or Sheltered Paws Dog Rescue.
