BEAVER DAM, Ky. — It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Elizabeth A. “Liz” Davis, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and cherished member of her community, who departed this life on March 14, 2025, at the age of 77. Liz, a resident of Beaver Dam, formerly of Dundee, was born on Dec. 18, 1947, to the late John Raymond and the late Mary Margaret Toon Stout.
Liz was a beacon of light and love to all who knew her.
She created a loving home filled with warmth and joy. She attended New Baymus Church of Christ for years and later became a member of the Hartford Church of Christ, Liz’s faith was a guiding force in her life. Her greatest legacy was the love of God she instilled in her children and grandchildren, which she held as her deepest and most meaningful accomplishment.
She was also a proud Kentucky Colonel and actively participated in the Kentucky Craft Marketing Program, passionately sharing her talent as a folk artist with the community. She was a nationally known artist having her dolls displayed on the White House Christmas tree. Judy Patton requested a doll be sent to each U.S. governor’s office as a Christmas gift from Kentucky to raise awareness in child abuse and neglect in Kentucky, using her talent to bring light to those in need and give a voice to the most vulnerable. She established Country by Liz where her work was sold out in less than two minutes on QVC. She was instrumental in the Ohio County Art Guild. Her artistry reflected the beauty of her spirit and the depth of her compassion, leaving an indelible mark on all who appreciated her work. Liz’s legacy will forever be remembered through the love she shared and the lives she touched. Her warmth, kindness, sense of humor, unwavering integrity, and gentle spirit will be deeply missed.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Charles Wayne Davis, her sisters, Louise Knight, Carol Rogers, and a brother.
Liz is survived by her two sons, Dustin Davis and his wife, Madison, and Jim Davis and his wife, Kori; her devoted daughter, Sloan Burton and her husband, Scott; two stepchildren, Michael Davis and Betsy Davis Gillman; and five adoring grandchildren, Skyler Mitchell and her husband Lucas, Colton Davis, Landon Davis, Aaydon Davis, and Daisy Davis; and several step-grandchildren. She was also the proud great-grandmother, of Lainey Mitchell, Kailor Davis, and Dawson Mitchell; several step-great-grandchildren, who brought her immense joy.
In honor of Liz’s life, a celebration of life service will be held 1 p.m. Saturday, March 22, at the Hartford Church of Christ in Hartford, Kentucky. Friends and family are invited to gather for a time of remembrance and celebration of her life beginning at 11 a.m. As we say goodbye to a remarkable woman, we take comfort in knowing that her spirit lives on in the hearts of her family and all who were fortunate enough to know her.
