Janet Davis was one of six children born to the late Elie and Mattie Blunt. She was born on June 8, 1938, in Brooklyn, NY. She fell asleep in death on Monday, July 3, 2023. (one of six children)
Janet grew up and attended school in Brooklyn, New York. She graduated from Bushwick High School where she was an “A” student and was known as “The Songbird” due to her love of and talent for singing. In the late 1950s, Janet met and fell in love with Richard Davis and they were married on February 21, 1959. To this union were born two daughters, Patricia Annette and Lisa Karen. Janet enjoyed sewing, crocheting, music, collecting elephants, and the unique art of decoupage. She also worked in the secretarial field for many years.
Janet developed a love for Jehovah at an early age, learning the truth from her mother and grandmother. This love moved her at the age of 12 to make a personal dedication to Jehovah and get baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on May 13, 1951. She was a faithful servant of Jehovah for 72 years. Janet loved the ministry and spent close to 40 years serving as a regular pioneer. During this time, she was able to help many come to know Jehovah and dedicate their lives to him. While living in New York Janet attended the Bedford, Fort Green, and Merrick congregations. Janet and Richard moved from New York to Georgia in 1998 and attended the North Norcross and South Duluth congregations.
Her strength, style, determination, faithfulness, and love for the ministry and her family are among the many attributes that her family and others will fondly remember her for.
Janet was preceded in death by her beloved twin sister, Jessie Griffin.
Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Richard Davis, two daughters: Patricia Ellsworth (Richard Ellsworth), and Lisa Jenkins (G. Anthony Jenkins), three grandchildren: Lauren Montanez (Frank), Michael Jenkins, and Lydia Jenkins; Sisters: Madeline Marshall, Christina Hamilton (Joseph), and Queen Victoria Thomas; Sister-in-law: Helen Lawson, as well as a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

My heart goes out to Richard Davis and his beautiful family. I send my deepest condolences to the lost of a beautiful wife, mother and grandmother. We know Ms. Janet is sleeping and will be awaken soon by her Heavenly Father. Remember Revelation 21:3,4, A scripture we all love. May you all find comfort in reading Revelation 21:3,4. Always remember the great times and never forget “He will Call!”

I will always remember my loving sister Janet. She was a crackerjack at everything she did. She was so talented. I know she’s sleeping in the arms of our beautiful God and Father Jehovah who drew us to Him and gave us a beautiful spiritual Heritage.

My condolence to my loving brother Richard who went above and beyond to give her his genuine love and happiness during their lives together for 64 years.
Pete White says
We are heartbroken about the loss of Sister Davis. She was a spiritual mother to myself and my family for 25 years because we attended N. Norcross and South Duluth congregation with them for many years. She loved Jehovah and showed it by her love for the ministry and the friends. She would always share her experiences in the ministry and she was also someone who loved to dance. I can remember attending their 50th anniversary and how happy they were. They set a fine example for what married couples should be and we’re a great example in serving Jehovah. We love her and are going to miss her dearly. May Jehovah provide this wonderful family with comfort and love and give them the strength to endure. We look forward to the time when we will see her again.
Love from the White family.

How saddened we are to hear of Janet’s falling “asleep in death”. She is dear to us and most dear to her God, Jehovah, whose infinite memory contains her record of faithfulness as well as every bit her life, personality and in his great love and with his great power will return to us, and soon, a healthy new Janet.
What a banquet awaits her. We want to be there.
All our love to Richard, Lisa and Patricia,

Davis Family,
It’s been many years since we met in Merrick Congregation and I felt the love of your encouragement and spiritual support. I thank Jehovah for that opportunity and pray he keep your hope in his promise alive. He will never forget Sister Davis and his promise is assured. May Jehovah give you through his powerful Holy Spirit the comfort and support through his loving organization to be comforted through this difficult time.
HE WILL CALL, AND SHE WILL ANSWER❤️🕊👑

Dear Richard, we are comforted to know that you’re still riding on the same train with us.. we are confident that you did all you could to make Janet comfortable before she took her short nap. As we approach our final destination we can all rejoice as we see her uplifted to Paradise with us. May Jehovah continue to bless the way you act, as well as the spirit you show. Php. 4 23
Your brother and sister,
Lee and Lillie Rambo.
