Homegoing Service
Dorothy Davis
Dorothy Mae Davis, 57, of
Portland, died Monday, June 18,
2012 after six years of battling
metastatic breast cancer.
She was born June 30, 1954
in San Bernardino, Calif, to Joe
and Emma Davis. She spent her
life serving others with uncondi­
tional love and acceptance, leav­
ing a lasting impression on ev­
eryone who came to know her.
Ms. Davis epitom ized the
definition of selflessness, always putting others first, especially her
children. She was very compassionate with a big heart for young
people, often taking in other children whose home environments
were less ideal. While Dorothy only had two children, she was a
surrogate mother to countless others. She worked for the Depart­
ment of Human Services as a caregiver for many years until she
was unable to do so due to health.
She is survived by two sons, Aubre and Aaron Dickson of
Portland; three grandsons, Caleb, Eric, and Christian; nine broth­
ers, seven sisters; many nephews, nieces and cousins; and count­
less friends whose hearts are permanently etched wijh love and
adoration.
