Willie Reeves Hardin Bivins wrote:

From a newspaper clipping shared by her sister: "Death of Mrs. O. R. Davis in an automobile accident in Virginia spells a tragic loss to the world of culture. Only close friends really knew the extent of the many talents of this fine woman whose husband formerly was superintendent of public instruction in Orlando as well as principal of old Memorial Junior High School and later Edgewater High. Mrs. Davis' work in sea shells was fairly well known, but not many were aware that she had become one of the nation's foremost conchologists. She had a shell named for her . . . and had twice lectured before the New York Shell Society, one of the highest honors in conchology. Her prominence in the field developed after her husband retired . . . and accepted an East African post with the Paul Smith Construction Company. They traveled extensively . . . and through these travels she increased her rare shell collection. She also taught violin and was a pianist of considerable skill."

Cecil Susan (Patterson) Goodhew wrote on May 16, 1982:

Susan had visited Ronald and Louise, both in poor health. He'd had a stroke and a heart attack and she had had three strokes. Their son, who retired from the Air Force and lived nearby, bought their groceries and he and his wife looked after them so well. They had five sons and a daughter who was drowned in a swimming pool while they were stationed in Hawaii, two or three years old.

Cecil Susan (Patterson) Goodhew wrote in 1987:

After Ronald died, Louise was left not knowing anything or anybody. She died about five months after he did. For three years their son "Ronnie" and his wife Deloras had cooked and packaged dinners for them and put them in the freezer where Ronald could get two out each day at noon and put them in the microwave. They spent one day each week doing the cooking.
Louise died in her sleep. They had had to put her in a nursing home toward the last.
