Diane was born February 12, 1949 in West Point, GA daughter of the late James Aaron Nixon and Lillian Rodgers Nixon. She is preceded in death by her husband of 30 years Huey Davis, brothers Dennis Nixon and Fred Nixon and numerous other beloved family members. Diane’s sweet soul will be sorely missed, her loving and caring nature was on full display to any who knew her. Diane was always the caretaker of her family from an early age taking care of her beloved mother “Bessie” to every other member of her immediate family. Her faith was at the forefront of her life, leaning on it at every twist and turn life threw at her. Diane was a faithful member of Central Baptist Church of Columbus Ga since its inception in 1967. She spent many years as a Sunday School teacher and Church Secretary as well as an active member in the WMU. Her family finds peace in knowing that she is walking the streets of gold being greeted by many who she helped lead there, alongside her family that has gone before her and her Heavenly Father who undoubtedly told her “Well done my good and faithful servant” (Matt 25:21).
