Barbara Ellen Davidson, 90, passed away in Venice, Florida.   Barbara was born February 14, 1932, to Jewell L. and Mary E. (Lame) Jeffries.  She graduated from Ladoga High School in 1949.  She married Laverne Davidson March 25, 1950.  Barbara, Laverne and their four sons made homes in Advance, North Salem, Ladoga, and New Market, Indiana. They also lived in Bartlesville, Oklahoma for a short time.

Barbara is survived by a brother, Phillip Jeffries, Ladoga, and sisters Betty Brennan, Lebanon, Indiana, and Rebecca Jeffries, San Diego, California.  She is preceded in death by her five brothers, James, Harvey, Robert, Ralph, and Jerry Jeffries.

Also surviving are four sons:  Randy (Debi), Denny (Judy), Jeff (Kathy), and Malcom (Jan), ten grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.

After their sons were grown, Barbara and Laverne became interested in mission work.  While in Honduras, they met Illiana Giron, a 14-year-old girl with big dreams. Barbara and Laverne invited Illiana to live with them in New Market.  Illiana became a nurse and now has a family of her own that Barbara loved like family.

Barbara had a lifelong love of music.  She enjoyed teaching piano to young people in her community. Her faith was her guiding light which she lovingly shared with her family and many friends.
