Dee Evans Davis

AUGUSTA, GA – Dee Evans Davis, age 63, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 1, 2009,

with her family at her side. She was the daughter of Helen Sheahan Evans

and niece of Marian Rose Sheahan, both of whom preceded her in death.

Surviving family members include her son Richard McCarthy Davis, her son Charles

Walker and his wife Missy, her son Joseph Walker and his wife Lisa, her

daughter Tracy Carswell and her husband Jim, six grandchildren, her

brother David Evans and his wife Therese, and her sister Sandra Lully and

her husband Phillip.

Dee grew up in Augusta and attended Sacred Heart School and Aquinas High

School. She earned both a Bachelor’s Degree and a Master’s Degree in

English from Augusta College. Her professional life reflected her lifelong

love of books and writing, as she worked in public relations at Augusta

College before returning to Aquinas to become a teacher. She later found

her true calling at the Richmond County Alternative School, where she

taught for many years. She was an inspiration to her students and received

several teaching awards, including a special dedication from her students.

Over the years of her teaching career, Dee touched many lives.

Dee lived her life passionately. Her devotion to literature, music and art

was surpassed only by her love of travel. She enjoyed close personal

friendships with people who lived all over the world, and many of them are

probably still keeping the little notes filled with witty observations and

funny remarks she sent to them. Never one to follow a straight line, Dee

created her own special path in life. She was decidedly unconventional,

always engaging, frequently challenging, and above all, kind. There was no

limit to Dee’s acceptance of and respect for others, and her large

collection of friends and loved ones included people from all walks of

life. Every one of them would agree that Dee was a free spirit. There can

be no replacement for Dee Evans Davis, and she will be missed everyday.

Friends and family will gather Monday, May 4, 2009 at 5:30 PM in the garden at Sacred Heart Culture Center to celebrate her life. If so desired, memorial contributions may be made to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Augusta, Inc., Attention: Memorial Contributions, 747 15th St., Augusta, GA 30901.
