ELMA DAVIS

DAVIS ELMA (nee GWIRTZ) Passed away peacefully at her home Monday, March 29th, 2021, a few weeks after her 97th birthday. She is survived by her three children Debra (Stanley), Fran (Jim) and Howard (Barbara), her seven grandchildren, Leslie (Ben), Jill (Sam), Jeff (Jordan), Lisa, Sara (Adam), Amanda (Jake) and Eliza, as well as seven great grandchildren, Kylie, Henry, Blake, Ryan, Georgia, Ava and Davis. Her beloved husband of 71 years, Herbert, passed away in 2018. Before her marriage, Elma worked as a secretary for National Jewish Hospital. Together, Elma and Herbert, along with Elma's father, Jay and later their daughter, Fran, built a respected and successful probate genealogy firm. Her shorthand and typing skills were great assets, but Elma's value went far beyond her administrative abilities. She was a trusted partner and confidante in the business for over sixty years. Elma had a natural gift for language and a love of travel. From Egypt to Australia to Japan, she and Herbert explored the world together. She truly lived a remarkable and full life. Above all else, however, Elma loved her family. She remembered and celebrated every special part of her children and grandchildren's lives-from the smallest of accomplishments to the most momentous occasions. And in return, she was adored and treasured by each and every member of her devoted family. A private graveside service for family members will be held Wednesday, March 31st at 1:30 P.M. at Roosevelt Memorial Park. Contributions in her memory may be made to either Abramson Senior Care or a charity of the donor's choice. www.goldsteinsfuneral.com
