Meet Barbara Davis, Resident of the Month
Barbara Davis was born Sept. 22, 1941, to Lela
Mae and Ira Norman in Potter County, Amarillo, Texas.
Barbara’s father drove a gas truck for many years and
her mother worked as a waitress at a local restaurant
called Double Dip, besides taking great care of her
kiddos. Barbara was one of four girls, including sisters
Joann, Shirley, and Wilma. “It was interesting for my
father, as he had to share a house with 5 women and
there was only one bathroom!,” said Barbara. She
lived in Amarillo for most of her life (over 50 years) be-
fore moving to Florida and then Missouri in 2009.
In 1963, Barbara had her eyes on one of the
church deacons of First Baptist Church of Amarillo,
Mahlon Davis. She admired his red and white Chevy
Impala in addition to his character and good looks, so
Barbara was very excited when a mutual friend set
them up on a date. The two ended up falling in love and marrying on Jan. 17, 1964,
in a beautiful ceremony with close family and friends. Right after getting married
Barbara worked as a file clerk for an insurance company, before deciding to stay
home and facilitate a home daycare for her children and friend’s children. Her hus-
band, Mahlon, worked as an electrical engineer at Southwestern Public Service in
Texas. The two gave birth to two precious daughters, Nancy and Linda. Nancy and
her husband reside in Pittsburgh, Mo., and Linda and her husband live in New Mexi-
co. Barbara has four grandchildren, Megan, Jeff, Brandon, and Bailey, and one great
-granddaughter, Abigail.
Throughout the years Barbara has spent most of her time babysitting the little
ones and singing in multiple church choirs in Texas and Missouri. Her hobbies back
then, and now, include jigsaw puzzles, adult coloring books, and reading Nancy
Drew and other mystery novels.
Barbara has been at Parkview Health Care Facility on and off again for rehabilita-
tion services for a few years before coming here again at the end of May 2018.
When asked what she likes about living here, she says that “the people are incredi-
bly friendly and they evidently care about us.” In addition to that, she thinks the food
is delicious, and she thinks that the Housekeeping staff does a wonderful job.
Congratulations, Barbara, on being chosen as the Parkview Health Care Facility’s
Resident of the month!
