Shiela Fonda Davis, 75, of Unionville, Missouri passed away at the Putnam County Memorial Hospital on June 29th, 2024.
Shiela was born in Ottumwa, IA, on April 6th, 1949, the daughter of Wilford Rick and (Hildred) Daniels.

On November 12th, 1966, Shiela Rick married Larry Davis in Livonia, MO, and two daughters were born to this union. Larry preceded her in death in 2019. Shiela was a simple private lady. She enjoyed her trips to the library to pick out mystery novels, crossword puzzles, and being the caregiver of her extended family. Sheila took part in babysitting her grandchildren as a substitute for daycare, so a close bond was forever formed and appreciated. Those grandchildren were Shiela’s whole world.

Shiela’s surviving grandchildren are Whitney Hirst and significant other Brandon Nix of Unionville, MO and Bryan Harris and wife Shelby of Jacksonville, MO.
