Obituary For Laddonia Creech Davis
On Sunday, July 12, 2015, at 10:15 p.m., Major Laddonia C. Davis was Promoted to Glory!
At the tender age of 18, Laddonia felt the call to become a Salvation Army officer. While attending The Salvation Army Training College in Atlanta, Georgia, she met and fell in love with another cadet, Harold L. Davis. After they were commissioned as lieutenants, Laddonia was stationed at the Training College as secretary to the Colonel (Dean) of the college, and Harold was stationed in Richmond, Virginia. They married a year later and served the Lord together with The Salvation Army for 25 years before retiring. But feeling the need to serve the Lord for little while longer, they joined the North Raleigh Church of the Nazarene in October 1994. Laddonia continued attending the Church of the Nazarene until returning to The Salvation Army for the last approximately 10 years of her time before Going Home.
Laddonia and Harold were married for 55 years, until Harold was Promoted to Glory/Called Home in August 2001. Although Laddonia was then on her own to love and serve the Lord, she did it with great joy for the rest of her life. The afternoon of that wonderful day, Laddonia was insistent on having ice cream; so she was taken to McDonald’s to get a snack size Oreo McFlurry, and enjoyed every bite - even drinking the melted part in the bottom to savor every bit of ice cream she could.
Laddonia is survived by: three daughters - Carol L. Klein, Diane D. Robinette, Pamela S. Davis; and one son - Harold L. Davis, Jr. She is also survived by 9 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.
The family requests that instead of flowers, please send a donation to The Salvation Army.
