The
MRS. MILDRED MOSLEY-DAVIS was born on Thursday, October 15, 1942, in Washington, DC. She entered into rest on Friday, December 18, 2020. In 1948, Mildred and her family relocated to Edgefield, South Carolina.
She attended Edgefield County Public Schools and was a 1959 honor graduate of Edgefield County Colored High School. After graduating from high school, Mildred's professional goal was to become a Registered Nurse. She attended Paine College and the Lamar School of Nursing. She was a proud graduate of the Class of 1964.
Mildred started her professional career as a Registered Nurse in 1964, working in the "segregated south" in a "segregated hospital," as an Operating-Room Nurse at University Hospital in Augusta, Georgia. "IfI can help somebody, as I travel along, then my living shall not be in vain," was the soundtrack of Mildred's life. She was always devoted to others, always caring for others, and always a nurturer. She sincerely cared about the citizens of Augusta-Richmond County, Georgia.
Mildred was an American Red Cross "Volunteer" Disaster Nurse for twenty years. When the American Red Cross called, she never flinched; and always went with her humor, smile, spunk, grace, and style.
Mildred also worked as a School Nurse for the Richmond County School System, and as a Nurse for Charter Hospital of Augusta. As a Public Healthcare Nurse for Augusta-Richmond County, Georgia, she worked in Child Health, General Clinics, Community Outreach Clinics, and was the Richmond-County Director for TB (Tuberculosis) Control. She cared for TB patients in the streets of Augusta and in their homes with no fear. She was always armored with faith in GOD.
Her last job in nursing before retirement would lead her to Perinatal Case Management and Infant Mortality. As the Director, she managed thirteen counties in the East Central Health District for the State of Georgia. She was also selected by Georgia Governor Zell Miller to be on his Infant Mortality Task Force. She loved the patients, and the patients loved her because she always gave her time, talents, money, and resources. She was a people-person; she truly believed in "person-centered" care. Throughout her professional career, she received many honors, awards, and accolades too many to mention.
Mildred was baptized at an early age at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in Edgefield, South Carolina. She was a member of the First Metropolitan Baptist Church in Augusta, Georgia, where she served faithfully until she was unable to do so due to health challenges.
Mildred married Wilmer Allen Davis, Sr. on Sunday, September 17, 1967, in North Augusta, South Carolina, and from this union, a family was born that she loved and made the center of her life. Mildred loved, educated, nurtured, and disciplined her children and grandchildren. She was an excellent homemaker, cook, and party/event planner, for her family and friends in and out of her home. Mildred should have been a comedian, she kept everyone laughing. She loved doing crafts and caring for her flowers. Mildred was always a cool mom and devoted mom. She became and loved being a second-mom to her children's friends. In Belair Hills Estates, her home was the neighborhood house where old and young gathered for snacks, homecooked meals, her wisdom, her stories, and always laughter. If you were not feeling well or were hurt, you went to see Mrs. Davis, more affectionately known as "Nurse Davis" for her special-care.
Mildred was preceded in death by her parents, Tom and Johnnie Mosley, Henry and Bessie Mosley, sister, Vivian MoselyRichardson, brother, Herbert Mosley, son-in-law, Marion Ray Edwards, and grandson, Marion Ray EdwardsJr,.
Mildred adored her family and was always their biggest cheerleader. If her family needed her, she was there no matter how far she had to travel.
