A graveside service will be held in Palmer Cemetery in the Centenary community Tuesday, January 6, 2009, at 2:00 p.m. The family will receive friends following the ceremony at Ann Davis Lane's home in Centenary, the family home place. Services will be conducted by Richardson Funeral Home. Born December 14, 1938, in Centenary, SC, Gwen was the daughter of the late Wendell Davis and Frances Shepherd Davis. She finished high school at Rains-Centenary High School in 1957. She was valedictorian of her graduating class and an All-State basketball player. Gwen graduated from Converse College in 1961 where she majored in art. After leaving Converse, she began her work career at Miller & Rhoads department stores in Richmond, VA, in an art position. Later Gwen returned to South Carolina to begin her twenty-eight year teaching career as an art and elementary school teacher. She taught in the public schools in Sumter, New Ellenton, Swansea, Blythewood, and North Charleston. She also taught in Savannah, GA. Gwen took breaks in her teaching career to earn a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of South Carolina where her thesis brought together much new information about the printmakers of Charleston Renaissance. She also earned a bachelor's degree in interior design from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Gwen established her permanent home in Charleston and lived there for many years. After retiring from teaching, she became an antique dealer and for many years was associated with the Antiques of South Windermere in Charleston. When growing up, Gwen was a "tomboy" and always a sports enthusiast. Her fierce competitiveness in basketball and tennis in her younger years led to her ardent support of USC's Lady Gamecocks basketball and track programs in her retirement. Gwen is survived by two sisters, Ann Davis Lane of Centenary, and Jane Davis James (Marshall) of Maxton, NC; a brother, James Clement Davis, II (Judy) of Marion, SC; and several nieces and nephews.
