Ralph Gilliand Davis Obituary

Ralph G. Davis, 86, of Louisburg passed away on Friday, July 26, 2024. He was born on June 01, 1938, in Franklin County, NC to parents William Wallace and Maggie Fuller Davis.

Ralph is survived by his wife, Gwen Wood Davis; two daughters, Pamela Nelms and Dawn Davis; one granddaughter, Emma Nelms; one sister Betty Perry; one brother, Bobby Davis, and many extended family and friends.


Ralph retired from Rustic Building Supply after 29 years of service. Ralph served in the US Army National Guard. He was a charter member of the White Level Fire Department, a member of the White Level Lions Club, as well as a member and Deacon at White Level Baptist Church.

You could always find him cruising around on his golf cart or cutting the grass. Ralph enjoyed restoring his A Model car, which was his pride and joy. He loved his family, and especially his “best girl” Gracie, his canine companion.
