Virginia Davis

Moriarty, New Mexico – Virginia Davis, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and dedicated community servant, passed peacefully in her home surrounded by her loving family on May 31, 2026.

Born in Malden, Massachusetts, to Eben and Ellen Card, Virginia embodied strength, adventure, and compassion from an early age. In October 1961, she enlisted in the U.S. Army, where she met the love of her life, James Davis, at Fort Gordon, Georgia. Just 56 days later, they married and began a remarkable journey together, including service in Frankfurt, Germany.

While James pursued his education at Palmer College of Chiropractic, Virginia worked at Rock Island Arsenal. They eventually made their way to New Mexico, where Virginia became a cornerstone of the community. She served with distinction as the Edgewood Postmaster for 31 years, earning the respect and admiration of those she served. Deeply committed to helping others, she volunteered as an ambulance driver for the Edgewood and Moriarty Fire District and was an active member of the Moriarty Lions Club, where she gave generously of her time and energy to support local charitable efforts.

Virginia was a selfless soul who consistently put others before herself. Her warmth, quiet strength, and unwavering dedication left a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

She is survived by her four sons—James, Michael, Craig, and Troy—seven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
