DAVIS: Dorothy N., 93, of Greensboro, died Wednesday, July 9, 2003, in Greensboro. She was born Dec. 22, 1909, in Lyndonville, the daughter of the late John and Flora (Campbell) Nash. She attended Lyndon Institute, and graduated from Concord High School in Concord, N.H., the Class of 1927. She continued her education at UVM, graduating in the Class of 1931. She married Warner Lloyd Davis, Aug. 22, 1934 in Burlington. Dot was first employed as a teacher of Latin and French at Randolph High School, and for several years was assistant postmistress in Greensboro Bend. She was a very active member of the Greensboro Bend United Methodist Church, the Ladies Aid Society of that church, as well as organist and choir director for nearly 70 years, playing until three weeks before her death. Other memberships include the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority, Orleans County Retired Teachers Association, Greensboro Kazoo Band, and the Senior Trotters. She had been an auditor for the town of Greensboro, trustee of the Greensboro Library, and past president of the PTA in Greensboro Bend. Dot\'s positive, outgoing, empathetic nature and optimistic attitude always made her home in \"The Bend,\" a gathering place filled with the scent of the baking of her famous bread, sounds of her piano, noise of the 4-H clubs she led, and the hospitality of tea and cookies. She loved activity and life - children, birds, music, wildflowers, card parties, cats and crossword puzzles, and most of all, people. She was sports enthusiast - from her years on the UVM tennis, basketball and baseball teams, to playing shuffleboard in Florida; and she later became an avid TV game fan. In her retirement years, she and her husband lived during the winter in their Tavares, Fla., home and enjoyed traveling over the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Europe. Survivors include a son, John G. Davis and wife Susan of Queensbury, N.Y.; two daughters, Nancy D. Hill and husband Lewis of Greensboro, and Sylvia D. Vatalaro and husband Charles of Latham, N.Y.; four grandchildren, Sheri O\'Brien and husband Tim, Scott Davis, John Vatalaro and wife Melissa, and Christopher Vatalaro; five great-grandchildren; and several nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by her husband, Warner in 1996; and a sister, Alice Wheeler.
