Patricia Donnelly Davis was born on August 4, 1936 in Tampa, Florida. She died peacefully at her home in Orlando on November 6, 2022. She was blessed with loving parents Hugh and Eloise Donnelly and her sister Michelle. Pat grew up in Tampa and finished at Plant High School. Then it was off to the University of Florida where she became a Chi Omega and was very active in the sorority. She wrote a weekly article in The Tampa Tribune to keep her hometown up to date on all the Tampa girls at UF.

After her junior year it was decision time... "Do I finish my education? Or do I marry this Veteran from Orlando?" She made the right decision and spent the next 65 years with the love of her life, J. Rolfe Davis Jr. Together they were blessed with three sons Jay, Dan, and Mark who like Bud overachieved in choosing their soul mates.

Other than her family, Pat was a competitive athlete winning club and state tennis championships. At the age of fifty-eight she gave up her tennis racquet for a golf club and was one of the very few to ever have a hole in one.

Her love of art was a very important part of her life, and her Christmas cards were cherished by many. Pat and Bud loved enjoying summers in Carmel which was influenced in much of her artwork.

Pat lived life to the fullest and all whose lives she touched were blessed to have known her.

She was survived by her husband Bud, her son's Jay (Michelle), Dan (Donna-proceeded her in death), Mark (Jolie). She is also survived by her beloved granddaughters Ryan & Sydney.

A memorial service will be held at The First Presbyterian Church of Orlando at 10:30am on Thursday, December 8 , 2022.
