Wilma was also a member of the Order of the Eastern Star and The Daughters of the Nile, Milcah Temple 77, where she served as Queen from 2006-2007.
She is survived her loving husband of 65 years, Archie Davis and two nieces, Polly Pressley and Angela Ferdon. She was preceded in death by her parents, her two brothers, Willie Bryant and Carl Ferdon, and three nephews, Michael, Daniel, and Waldo Ferdon.
Archie would like to express his deep appreciation to the members of First Baptist Church of Mt. Pleasant, especially the Gerald Hunter/John Mays Sunday School Class, The Beacon Hospice (Crescent), East Cooper Meals on Wheels, the We Care Home Service, and the many friends who supported them over the years.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to a charity of one's choice.
