Lorraine Myrtle Davis

Lorraine "Bootsie" Myrtle Davis passed away Sunday, January 14, 2018 in her home beside her loving husband and surrounded by her loved ones. Lorraine was born in Loma, Colorado to Olen and Della Sheets on June 8, 1935. She was raised in a large family that survived on the power of love and hard work and that is how she lived her whole life. As a young girl her Dad nicknamed her Bootsie. This name stuck with her for her whole life and that most people knew her by. After leaving home, she went to work as a waitress in Fruita, Colorado where she met her lifelong love, Del Davis. They then forged a life together in the same fashion as she had known all her life, by hard work and a lot of love. She worked in various jobs all her life, but her main duty in life was being of service to others. She was always content with what she had, and you never heard her wish for anything that she didn't have. She was devoted to her family and caring for them was her greatest pleasure. She also made sure that nobody she knew went hungry. She could make a meal out of nothing and feed a small army. She always knew that God would provide.Lorraine is survived by her soul mate and husband, Delma Davis, sons: Gary Davis and wife Liz, Steve Davis and wife Karen, Doug Davis and wife Marlene, Raymond Davis and wife Jane and a daughter Millie Davis Singleton. Also, she is survived by a brother Timmy Sheets, three sisters: Verna Wright, Lola Martin and Sandy Sheets. She also is survived by eighteen grandchildren, thirty-two great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Lorraine was preceded in death by her parents, sisters Thelma Palmer, Donna Thayn, Marie Striblen and brothers Olie Sheets, Ervin Sheets and Larry Sheets, her son Roy Dino Davis, and two grandkids Kenny and Jesse Davis.Funeral services will be Friday, January 19, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at the Mineral Wells Church of God.
