Mrs. Kathryn Corley Davis, age 82, of Covington, passed away peacefully at her home on Thursday, November 27, 2025. Born on June 29, 1943, in Covington to Herbert, Jr. and Ruth Corley, Kathryn spent a lifetime rooted in the community that shaped her, cherishing family and friends with unwavering devotion.

A proud 1961 graduate of Newton County High School, Mrs. Davis distinguished herself as an honors student who valued education and hard work. She dedicated much of her career to serving others, working as a skilled bookkeeper for Newton County Schools, Dr. Lisa Miller, and National Vision. Her professionalism and attention to detail were matched only by her kindness and warmth.

Mrs. Davis was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. She found her greatest joy in the company of her family, especially cherishing moments spent with her grandchildren.
