Obituary for Marilyn Colvin Davis

Marilyn Colvin Davis, a devoted educator, wife, mother, sister, and friend, passed away on Thursday at the age of 80 in her home in Lignum, Virginia.

Born on October 'date' in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, to John Sidney Colvin and Eva York Colvin, Marilyn grew up with a strong sense of community and family values. She graduated from Culpeper High School before going on to earn an undergraduate degree from High Point University and a Master's Degree from the University of Virginia.

Marilyn spent her career as an educator, dedicating countless hours to helping her students succeed. Her passion for teaching was matched only by her love for her family and friends. She was married to her best friend and husband, Paul B., who preceded her in death. Together, they had three daughters, Melanie Davis (Reid Dirom), Heather Carila (Randolph), and Amanda Davis.

Visitation will be held on Sunday from 3:00-5:00 PM at the Found and Sons Funeral Chapel in Culpeper, Virginia. A funeral service will follow on Monday at 11:00 AM at the Hopewell United Methodist Church in Lignum, Virginia.

Marilyn is survived by her three daughters, two brothers, Joseph Colvin and George Colvin, numerous nieces and nephews, and other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Paul B., as well as her father, John Sidney Colvin, and mother, Eva York Colvin.

Throughout her life, Marilyn loved to spend time with her family, particularly during holidays, birthdays, Sunday dinners, and Christmas parties. She also enjoyed traveling throughout the US and abroad, gardening, cooking, and animals. Her passion for living life to the fullest and helping others in need inspired those around her.

Marilyn was a devoted member of several organizations, including the Stanardsville United Methodist Church, The Woman's Club of Greene County, Wolftown Ruritan Club, and the United Methodist Women at the Stanardsville United Methodist Church. Her contributions to these groups were a testament to her commitment to community service.

Marilyn will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but her legacy of love, kindness, and dedication will continue to inspire those around her. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Marilyn's name to the Stanardsville United Methodist Church or the United Methodist Women at the Stanardsville United Methodist Church.

Rest in peace, dear Marilyn. Your impact on this world will never be forgotten.
