Nola Davis Hobbs, one of God\s elect daughters, returned to her Father in Heaven on Friday, March 13, 2015 at her home in West Jordan, Utah. Nola was born in Preston, Idaho on October 8, 1928 to David Emanuel and Annie Davis. She attended Preston High School and later Weber State University. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in which she served in the North Central States mission. Following she met the man of her dreams, Charles R. Hobbs and they were sealed together for time and all eternity in the Logan, Utah temple. She served in many church callings including two additional missions with her husband. They presided over the New Hampshire/Manchester Mission and a C.E.S. Mission in Kentucky.
Nola was a devoted mother to her three children, Christine Hobbs Kirkham (Kent), Charles Mark Hobbs (Deea), and Janice Hobbs Allison (Greg). Nola and Charles delighted in the additions of each grandchild, Lauren Allison Ellsworth (Randal), Katie Kirkham, Angela Kirkham, Hailey Allison, Monica Hobbs, and Jordan Allison. She is survived by her sister-in-laws Rebecca Hernandez Hobbs (Odell) and Charlene Hobbs (Jack Richards).
Nola was preceded in death by her parents, David Emanuel and Annie Davis, 5 siblings; David, Dora Davis Porter, Paul (Eva), Homer (Tenney), and Blaine (Dorothy). She is now embraced in the loving arms of her loved ones who have gone on before.
She was a great example of faith; living a life representative of her strong and enduring testimony of the restored gospel. She will always be remembered for her warm smile and loving encouragement. Until we meet again our dear companion and mother, you are etched in our hearts.
