Jane Davis

WOODSTOCK — Jane Davis of Woodstock lost her year and a half battle with ovarian cancer on January 4, 2013, surrounded by her family. She was a long time Mainer. She built her house up on a mountain in Woodstock to be closer to areas and people involved in her hobbies of rock hounding and gem cutting. She came to Maine from the Philadelphia area in 1983 to work for WVII-TV on a one-year contract. She decided to stay so her children could graduate from Bangor High School and never left.

She obtained a Bachelors Degree in Communications from UMO and went on to get a Masters of Business Administration in 1996 from Husson. She then spent two years as supervisor with the US Postal Service in Portland.

Ms. Davis was a member of the Maine Air National Guard, retiring from the 101st AREFW in 1993. She served an active duty tour in Washington DC in support of the Gulf War in 1991. She also worked in sales, real estate, delivered mail, loved selling on EBay and buying at auctions. She was a volunteer with Northeast COMBAT.

Although she loved the Oxford Hills area, she spent plenty of time traveling to all seven continents. She also did motivational travel presentations for various groups. At home she was active in the Oxford County Gem & Mineral Association, editing the newsletter until her illness. She was a member of the South Paris American Legion and the Norway-Paris Kiwanis. She was a life member of American Mensa and an Endowment Member of the NRA. She won many trophies for her shooting ability.

Ms. Davis is survived by her three children, Frederick Davis III of Langhorne, PA, Alicia Romac of Bennington, VT and Scot Davis of Conway, SC; a brother, Michael Koffley of Bristol, PA; an aunt and uncle, Jane and Charles Wiedemann of McHenry, IL; 10 grandchildren and one great-granddaughter plus numerous cousins, a niece and a nephew.

Services are Friday, January 11, at 2 p.,m. in the Chapel at Maine Veterans Memorial Cemetery, 163 Mount Vernon St. Augusta.
