Obituary for Essie B. Davis
Essie B. Curry Davis was born on February 6, 1948, to the late Jasper Curry, Jr. and Ophelia Williams Curry, in Newton, Georgia, who preceded her in death.
She was also preceded in death by her husband Eugene (Buck) Davis, brother, Louis C. Curry, Sr.,
mother-in-law, Leola Dumas Florence, father-in-law, Otto Davis, and stepson, Maurice Davis.
Essie graduated from Hutto High School in 1967. After that, she became employed by Decatur County Health Department for several years and later became employed by United Plastic.
On Friday, December 19, 2025, at the age of 77, Essie transitioned to her heavenly home at The Bainbridge Health and Rehab Facility. Essie loved the Lord and found joy and peace in faithfully serving God at Wesley Chapel A.M.E. Church as a Sunday School Teacher and an Usher for many years. After the closing of Wesley Chapel, Divine Grace Ministries purchased the building, and Essie was led by God to become a member where she continued to faithfully serve God as a Mother in the Church and Speaker on the third Sunday to the youth and congregation.
Essie is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Bridget, who compassionately and devotedly cared for her Mother during her illness. She is also remembered by her caring stepdaughters, Teresa Leveron and Natasha Jeffrey.
Here surviving siblings are Jasper Curry, III, Johnny Lee Curry, (Mary), W. David Curry, Selimah Sanders, Rhunette (Larry) Diggs, Dollie Curry, Jean Baker, and Melanese (Henry) Denson. Her memory is cherished by a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, 1967 classmates, and friends who will forever hold her in their hearts.
Though she has departed from this earthly life, Essie’s legacy of faithful love, labor, and kindness will live on in the lives of those she inspired. We take comfort in knowing she has entered her eternal rest in the arms of her Savior.
