Tom and family we are deeply sadden by the loss of Davalene. We both have fond memories of spending time with her and I have so many wonderful memories of our childhood together that I will always cherish. May you find comfort and peace during this time of sorrow.

Thomas and family, I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife and mother and grandmother, Davalene was such a loving and generous person, I know she loved her family dearly. Over the past couple of years she has delt with many health issues but stay so strong. I've been her Avon lady I think for the past 15 years or more and always a delight to visit with her. Our friendship has lasted many years, she will be truly missed but I hope you as a family will be able to hold all her memories close to your hearts.


- Peggy Cochrane Chastain and family

Aunt Davelene, I will always remember your infectious laugh, your beautiful smile and your love for life. I treasure my Nativity Scene that you painted for Mom to give to me. I have kept it safe for more than four decades. And the ceramic angels you and Uncle Tom put on our baby Sisters headstone every year. It always made me smile.
Time for you to fly high and rest dear Auntie. You have fought for a long time. Say "Hi" to my Dad and Mom and all of our family that has gone before us, which is many. Love, Evie

Davalene and family,
I am forever grateful to you for raising me and my brother like we were one of your own. We made wonderful friendships being at your home and many, many memories I will never forget and continue to tell often. It was so nice to be able to visit you before you passed - you were still just as witty and funny as I remember. I still have some of the ceramics you gave my mom and I put them out every Christmas! It was a wonderful service today and was so nice to see so many familiar faces again. You will forever live in my heart.

Love you all,
Jennifer Reese
