Carole Aliece Davis, aged 81, passed away peacefully on March 20, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. Born on December 18, 1944, in Dallas, Texas, to parents William and Mildred Graves. Arrangements are under the loving care of Wise Funeral Home, Bonham, TX.

Carole's life was marked by her steadfast dedication to her work as a bookkeeper. Outside of her career, Carole's passions painted the portrait of a life rich in love and hobbies. An avid fisherwoman, she often regaled her family and friends with tales of "the one that got away,". Carole's skills as a master seamstress were evident in the beautifully clothes she lovingly made for her children and the whimsical Halloween costumes that delighted her grandchildren, from cow outfits to Power Ranger costumes. When her daughter Melinda was expecting she sewed her entire maternity wardrobe.

Her green thumb brought life to her plants, while her love for the great outdoors was reflected in her enjoyment of road trips and camping adventures. Carole's devotion to her family was unwavering, and the family has a treasure trove of memories tucked away in their hearts.

Known affectionately as "Granny," Carole was a master at games like Skip-Bo and Phase 10, always ready for a friendly challenge. Her favorite memory was riding the back roads of Telephone in the "Struggle Buggy," car seats filled the back with all the grandchildren and down the road they went!

Carole enjoyed visiting cemeteries and reading the headstones often reflecting on the meaning of life. She also spent many Sunday's singing in the church choir, her voice as beautiful as her heart. She always loved singing old time gospel hymns.

She was greeted in Heaven by her husband, Bobbie Davis, parents, Mildred and Bill Graves, sisters, Gracie Anderson, Betty Capps, Ruth Hall, and brother, Wallace Graves. Those left to cherish her memory, brother, Harold Graves and wife Ona, sister, Teresa Wright and husband Cliff, children, Gregg Allen and wife Tammy, Scott Allen, Melody Burk, Melinda Allen, grandchildren, Ashlea Allen and wife Heather, Jeremy Murphey and wife Mica, April Vincik and husband Justin, Hayden Murphy, Kashandra Henson and husband Aaron, great-grandchildren, Elaiyna, Colten, Gavin, Waverly, Jace, Aurora, Wade, Adeline, and numerous nieces and nephews.

The service will be Wednesday, March 25,2026 with an 11:00am visitation and a 12pm chapel service. Chaplain Scott Conn will officiate. Pallbearers will be family proudly honoring their beloved Granny.
