Bessie Patricia (Pat) Davis, 87, entered into eternal rest on August 17, 2025. She was known to everyone as Nana. Pat was born on April 9, 1938, in Cadwell, Georgia, to the late Lou Ola Knight and Menzo Knight.

Pat spent her early years in Cadwell before relocating to Savannah, GA, and later making her home in North Augusta, SC. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, she will be remembered for her kindness, her love of family, and her gentle spirit.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 48 years, Jesse Davis; her son, Alan Davis; her sisters, Diras Mullis and Edith Shiver; and her brothers, William Knight and Kenneth Knight.

Pat is survived by her children, Lynn Bonsack (Fred) and Keith Davis (Leanne); her sisters Grace Rich (Louis) and Lanell Rich (John); six cherished grandchildren; and six adored great-grandchildren. 

A homemaker throughout her life, Pat poured her heart into caring for her family. She had a special love for all children, never failing to show patience and warmth. In her free time, she enjoyed working on puzzles, cheering for the Atlanta Braves, watching Hallmark movies and Game Show Network, and was a big fan of George Strait and Tom Jones. As a young girl, she treasured time spent roller skating and helping her daddy on their family farm. Pat’s family finds comfort knowing she is reunited with her loved ones who have gone before her and will forever carry her memory in their hearts.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, September 6, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. at Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors in Savannah, GA. A service celebrating her life will follow at 11:00 a.m. in the chapel, with burial immediately after at Forest Lawn Cemetery.
