Louise Davis Banks
October 3, 1929 — August 8, 2020
Louise Banks was born October 3, 1929, in Oviedo, Florida, to the late Louis and Idella Presley. She died unexpectedly at home August 8, 2020.
Louise was a very family-oriented person. She had an endearing quality, and people were drawn to her. She treated them all as family. She took the initiative to regularly check up on us all.
All knew, if you were in need, ‘let’s call mama, grandma, auntie, or cousin Louise. She’ll help me.’ And that’s the example she set for her family, to genuinely love and be there for each other.
She loved to dress up. Had a daily routine of getting up, showering, getting fully dressed, earrings and all. She was a generous person. If she thought you’d look nice in something she had, she would happily gift it to you, then turn around and buy herself the same item again. That was her!
Up to the time of her illness, she read the Bible and daily text, and prayed regularly. During her illness, some days she just listened. She enjoyed watching monthly broadcasts, dramas, and listening to original songs on jw.org.
She was the first in her family to encounter Jehovah’s Witnesses. The result—Her mom/stepdad (Jack/Idella Ingerville-deceased) and many other family members became faithful servants of Jehovah.
Also preceding Louise in death are:
Father (Louis Presley); Brother (David James Presley); 2 sons (Ranzel Lee Davis, Jr. and Gregory Allen Davis); daughter (Wanda Jean Davis).
Mourning Louise’s death are her loving and supporting husband, William Banks; Sisters: Mattie Neeley-Henley, Lynda Cooper; Son: Richard Davis (Deborah), Daughters: Francene Davis-Fulford, Jacqueline Davis-Nelson, Andrea Renee Davis-Brice, Yolanda Banks. Her grands, great grands, and great-great grands, are listed on the following page. Also left mourning are very close cousins: Willie Johnson, Jr., Arlene Hester, and Mary Hackney, along with a large number of close nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
A Zoom Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, August 15, 2020 with the collage beginning at 1:30 PM.
