Vicki Davis

Vicki Williams Davis, 81, of Tappahannock, Virginia, formerly of New Kent County, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones on Friday, August 24, 2018.

She was born in Washington, D.C. on August 10, 1937 to Alice Francys Cary Williams and George French Williams, Jr. She began her career in investment banking at Craigie Incorporated in 1964, rising to the position of Assistant Secretary and Assistant Treasurer before joining the Muncipal Bond Department of Davenport and Co. A year later, she resigned to stay at home with her young children. In 1974, she returned to work as a part time teacher in the Upper School of Chickahominy Academy. The position grew into full time and spanned a ten year period, during which she was voted Teacher of The Year. The school closed in 1984, and she had very fond memories of the students, teachers, and administration during those ten years. At the end of 1985, after 15 months as office manager in pharmacy services with the Medical College of Virginia, she returned to Craigie Incorporated in the Muncipal Bond and Underwriting Department, where she rose to the position of Vice President. Craigie was subsequently purchased by BB&T, and she retired from their Capital Markets Division in 2002. Upon retirement, she became a part time receptionist at Rappahannock Community College in Warsaw until 2008.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Birdie Grey Williams Lawton.

She is survived by her husband, Jerry Douglass Davis; son, William Booker Underwood III, (Donna Marie Abshire); daughters, Susan Cary Pomeroy (Benjamin Bradbury Pomeroy, Jr.); Sarah Davis Hill (Ronald Vernon Hill, Jr.); and Sallie Davis Mayer (Henry Hamilton Mayer III); six grandchildren, William Booker Underwood IV, Kinsey Davis Pomeroy, Henry Davis Mayer, James Davis Hill, Lillian Williams Mayer, and Catherine Walker Hill.
