Emma Jane Bowman Davis, age 88, was born on June 28, 1938. Emma Jane passed away on October 26, 2026, at her home shared with her husband Bobby J. Davis of 64 years. Bobby and her family were by her side as she entered the gates of Heaven.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Clyde and Cora Bowman; brothers, James Bowman (Mae), Harley Bowman (Margie); sister, Mary Lou Bowman Pennell (Arnold); and sister-in-law, Mary Lois Bowman.

Emma Jane had an exceptional caretaker, her husband, Bobby, for over 15 years as her health declined. Emma Jane was a member of Bethlehem Baptist Church where she sang in the choir, served on the WMU for many years, and delivered tapes to the shut-ins. Emma Jane was a beautician until the birth of her son, Alan. From then on, she was a homemaker. She spent the summer taking care of her grandchildren. Emma Jane loved the Lord unconditionally, she was kind to everyone she met, never said a bad thing about anyone, she cooked many meals to share with others, she was the most humble person you could meet, and she loved all children.

Throughout her lifetime she had many friendships that became like sisters, all of whom have passed but now will rejoice together in Heaven.
