        There is a big void in the earth today! Betty Jane Davis Jordan passed away peacefully at home on November 28, 2021 after a long illness. She fought the good fight of faith. Heaven gained a very special angel. Now all the weight and cares of this world will no longer affect her. She is resting in the loving arms of Jesus. She loved God dearly and said many times recently; that she was “right” with the Good Lord and she was ready when he called her home. She was a wonderful, loving and caring mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, friend and compassionate caregiver. All who knew her loved her.

    Born in West Columbia, she was a daughter of the late Rosier and Catherine Rabon Davis. Mrs. Jordan was a member of Calvary Springs Community Church, where she loved attending. She enjoyed spending time with her family, traveling, and playing blackjack.
