Mamie Lou Davis (Bradley) Obituary (1931 - 2020)

Mamie L. Bradley Davis was born on October 31, 1931 to the union of the late Robert Sr. and Alma Woods Bradley in Carpenter, Mississippi. She moved to Paulina, Louisiana with her sister Lorraine Bradley in search of a better way of life in the early 1950's.

She later became a member of King Solomon Baptist Church under the Pastorship of Reverend Benjamin Scott and presently, Pastor Rowdy Kennard Scott. She was a faithful and dedicated Usher at King Solomon Baptist Church until her health began to fail. Mamie was married to the late Alexander Davis and together this Union was blessed with 9 children; Leroy, the late Shirley Bradley Morris, Imogene, Jacqulian, Sandra Faye, Gwendolyn, Kathleen, Loretta and Alma. Mamie loved the Lord will all her heart.
