Sister Janet Davis

Dear Sisters,

It is with great sadness I forward the message on to you that Janet Davis passed away on Thursday after a lengthy battle with cancer.  She was a coordinator and trained many of us over the years as Temple workers.  Her enthusiasm, her energy, her testimony of the Savior and His atoning sacrifice, her love of the Temple and all the work that goes on there,  and her radiant smile are among the many legacies she leaves.  We were blessed to have known her and to have worked with her.

Love,

Sister Madsen

She was born in Bountiful, Utah to Stephen Keats Pearce and Ruth Robinson Pearce on March 26, 1948. After graduating from Bountiful High School, she attended the University of Utah where she earned her degree in English. She taught school in Salt Lake City and later on the island of Guam. She married Laurence Jackson Davis in the Salt Lake Temple on September 8, 1969. In 1975, she and Larry moved to Phoenix, Arizona which quickly became their home. Janet was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her church service was an important part of her life. She was especially proud of the 12 years that she served the children in the church as president of the Primary organization. She also served in the Mesa Temple for many years. But Janet’s greatest legacy was her service to her family. She and Larry are the parents of 5 children, and grandparents of 16. An accomplished seamstress, Janet sewed wedding dresses for her daughters as well as for many friends. Each one of her grandchildren was blessed in an outfit sewn by her. She is survived by Larry, her husband of 43 years, her children Lisa (Trevor) Whitmore, Jennifer (Sean) Kriloff, Karen (Mark) Broadbent, Jason (Evonne) Davis and Kally Davis, her mother Ruth Robinson Pearce and siblings Robyn Steed and Stephen Pearce, along with 16 grandchildren.
