Pamela “Darlene” Davis Batts, passed away in her home surrounded by her loved ones Friday, December 14, 2018. She was born April 25, 1954 in Wilson County to the late Earl Delano and Lula Mae Flowers Davis.
Darlene is survived by her daughter, Marsha Wick; Granddaughter, Sadie Wick; Great granddaughter, Cecilia Mae and her soulmate Jerry Earp.
Darlene was a graduate of Saratoga Central High School. She started a career at Abbot Laboratory soon out of high school, where she enjoyed 32 years before she retired at the age of 50.
Retirement allowed her to enjoy her family and friends and the comforts of her home. She appreciated the simple things that life had to offer. Like lazy days with her fur babies and ever her not so lazy days spent with Jerry in their garden. She loved sharing the bounty of her harvest with her family and friends. The bounty was not limited to her garden, but also in the love she gave in vast and limitless ways.
She was many things to those she held dear. She was an amazing mother who took her tenaciously stubborn daughter in stride and loved her unconditionally, a doting grandmother that thought her granddaughter hung the moon, a friend that always listened and offered compassion and encouragement, a loving home to the countless stray animals that always wondered into her life, a best friend, companion, and confidant to her soulmate. These are but a few reasons why she will be sorely missed, but never forgotten and will live on through all that she touched.
A visitation will be held on Tuesday, December 18, 2018 from 7:00 - 8:30 PM at Johnson Funeral Home and the family will receive other times at the home, 7958 Claude Lewis Road, Bailey NC.
