Mrs. Maybell Davis was the fourth of six children born to the late Mr. Moses Langley and Mrs. Rebecca Morrison Langley on April 12, 1913 in Jamestown, South Carolina. She enjoyed a happy and prosperous childhood surrounded by her mother's family in Jamestown. Mrs. Maybell was baptized in her home church, Mt. Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church, Jamestown, South Carolina in April, 1914, at the tender age of one year. She received Christ into her life and became a full member of Mt. Zion on June 19, 1925. Mrs. Maybell was educated in the public schools of Berkeley County and Georgetown County. On April 30, 1930, Mrs. Maybell and Reverend William Davis were united in holy wedlock. This union lasted sixty-two years. They made Reverend Davis' native home of Shulerville, South Carolina their marital residence and she became a member of Wesley A.M.E. Church. As a new full member of Wesley, Mrs. Maybell joined Class #9, which is currently Class #8 and became actively involved in several of the church's auxiliaries including the Praying Band, Junior and Senior Choirs, the Steward and Stewardess Boards, and the Women's Missionary Society. Mrs. Maybell and Reverend Davis were married seventeen years before being blessed with their first child, a girl who was born on his birthday and died as an infant. At that time, Sarah came into the family; however, parenting was not new to them as Collins "CC" had already come into their lives. Subsequently, four additional daughters were born. Recent honors bestowed upon her include Faithful and Dedicated Service Award for seventy-nine years of membership in 2009 and church Mother of the Year 2001. Also, the 196th Church Anniversary was celebrated in her honor on March 18, 2012. Mrs. Maybell connected herself politically and socially in the community and surrounding areas. Mrs. Maybell was the matriarch of the Langley, Morrison and Davis families, the Wesley A.M.E. Church family and the Jamestown/Shulerville/Honey Hill community. Her favorite songs were "I Won't Complain," "Just a Closer Walk with Thee," and "Hallelujah Anyhow." Her favorite scripture was Psalm 27. Her words of wisdom were "Hold your corner" and "It doesn't matter if the mule is blind, (you) stay in the wagon and hold the line." Her motto was "If a task is once begun, never quit until it's done, be the labor, great or small, do it well or not at all." This virtuous woman of God who was a member of Wesley for eighty-two years, attributed living a long Christian life to trusting in God, treating people as you would like to be treated and having a good attitude. There is a time in all our earthly lives when this pilgrimage must end. For Mrs. Maybell Davis, it came on Sunday, August 26, 2012 at her residence in Shulerville, South Carolina. Her husband, Reverend William Davis; a son, Collins C. Davis; two daughters, Alicia Redford and Patricia Hawkins; a grandson, Justin Hawkins and five siblings preceded her in death. Fond and lasting memories of Mrs. Maybell will be cherished by three devoted and loving daughters, Sarah L. Armstrong, Veronica (Dr. William, Sr.) Clinkscales, and Levolia Rhodes; a son-in-law, Willie Hawkins; ten grandchildren, one was reared in the home, Kyle (Kataska) Davis; ten great-grandchildren; a sister-in-law, Mrs. Elma Davis, many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
