Nellie was born to Charles and Shirley Knight on February 6, 1941. She grew up in Spotsylvania County, attending Spotsylvania County Schools where she met Kermit Davis Sr. Kermit and Nellie were married and stayed in Spotsylvania County to raise a family.
Nellie was a Christian who loved the Lord and enjoyed sharing His love with others. She was very involved in her church, teaching Sunday school and nursery classes every week.
Helping others was very important to Nellie. She would visit elderly people in nursing homes, provide transportation, and take care of anyone that needed her help.
Nellie’s willingness to help others was truly evident in her love of feeding people. She was a great cook, and her Sunday dinners were not to be missed. Creating a table full of food for her family and friends, fed her soul.
Nellie adored her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was always ready and available to spend time with them. She loved to babysit and didn’t mind watching all of them at one time.
