Opal Dean Davis, 83, passed away suddenly Tuesday, December 3, after a short stay in the hospital.

To say Ms. Dean was a busy little lady is an understatement! She was a member of New Vision Baptist Church in Halls, TN, the Curve Woodville FCE club, a volunteer at Lauderdale Community Hospital gift shop, visited the Helen Tucker Center and the Jim Causey Memorial Group Home twice a month for crafts and to share homemade baked goods with the residents, and was the long-time Treasurer of the Woodville Cemetery Association. She is survived by two sons, Samuel E. Davis (Lois), Russell L. Davis; one daughter, Emily Davis Griggs (Richard); four grandsons, William Davis (Whitney), Logan Davis (Ryan), Chandler Griggs, and Aiden Griggs; three granddaughters, Alyssa Davis, Madison Davis Crihfield (Corey), and Lindsey Griggs Racine (Stephen); and eight great-grandchildren, Willow Davis, Ronan Davis, Lyra Davis, Emrys Davis, Freyja Davis, Atticus Racine, Eva Racine, and Rhydian Crihfield. Services will be held on Friday, December 6, at 1:00p.m. at the New Vision Baptist Church in Halls, TN. The family will receive friends from 10:00a.m. until service time. Interment will follow in Woodville Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be made to New Vision Baptist Church in Halls.
