Norma "Sarah" May Davis (Coupland) Davis went to her glory on August 24th, 2021 at the age of 101. She passed into the arms of Jesus peacefully in her sleep at the home of her daughter, surrounded by loved ones.
Norma spent many of her years in service to the Lord. She was a devoted leader to the Girls Auxiliary of the First Southern Baptist Church in Russell. She spent many hundreds of hours cranking out the church bulletin for the First Baptist Church of Towanda Kansas on her own Ditto Machine. She taught sign language and was always known to say her goodbyes in ASL with the sign for "I Love You". She was a devoted penpal over the years, even sharing the love of Christ with those behind bars. She was a lover of dance and an extraordinary artist. Most notably she had a true gift for sharing the gospel in such simple and tangible ways to anyone, but especially her children and grandchildren.
Norma was born to Albert Coupland and Stella (Waterman) in Floyd Iowa on August 15th 1920. She leaves behind her daughter Janis Brown and husband Terry of Overland Park, daughter Susan Kersenbrock of Andover, son David Davis and wife Nina of Benton, grandchildren Doug, Ron, Trae, KC, Tesa, Prairie, Sarah, and Mia. She had a multitude of great-grandchildren and even great-great-grandchildren.
Norma will reunite in Heaven with her beloved husband Carl "Eddie", her parents, her siblings Harrison, Paul, Max and Wanda, her daughter Billie Lee, her grand daughter Rhonda, as well her countless other relatives, friends and pets that she gained over her enduring lifetime.
Absent only from her earthly body, in the presence of her Heavenly Father, Norma leaves behind a legacy of Christian fellowship, service and countless splendid memories that those she loved will cherish until they see her again.
