Orva (Moore) Davis

Orva (Moore) Davis, 96, of Springdale, died July 22, 2016 at Circle of Life Hospice in Springdale. She was born in Parnell, Mo., on July 3, 1920, to Thomas Orval and Blanche (Mullock) Moore. She graduated from high school in 1938, in Hopkins, Mo., and married Harold Davis, a fourth generation native of Hopkins in the fall of that year. They farmed 120 acres for 18 years and then moved to Southern California, where they raised their two daughters. Orva loved people. Her first thought was to share with others––whether it was ideas, advice, food or the Gospel. Her greatest joy lay in searching the depths of God's Word, meditating on it and relying daily on His grace. Ten years after her husband died, Orva and daughter Daria moved to Rogers in 2005. Daughter Deena followed in the fall of 2006. Survivors include her daughters, Daria Davis and Deena Davis of Springdale; sister, Dorothy (Walter) Coleman of Piedmont, S.C.; sister-in-law Verna Moore of Van Buren; several nephews and nieces and their families. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Harold; brothers Harold "Jack" Collins, Douglas Moore, Joe Moore; sisters, Nellie Engle, Bernice Blair, and Bonnie Moore. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, July 26, at First Baptist Church's Pleasant Grove campus in Rogers, officiated by Pastor Wade Tomlinson. Memorials, in lieu of flowers, may be made to Circle of Life Hospice, 901 Jones Road, Springdale 72762. Arrangements are by Rollins Funeral Home of Rogers. www.rollinsfuneral.com.
