Long-time Westfield resident Lauramae Cutler, 98, passed away peacefully on April 17th. Born in Westerville, Ohio, she was the oldest of four children. She earned a B. A. Degree in Chemistry from Maryville College in 1943 and studied at the University of Akron while working at B. F. Goodrich. There, she met her future husband, Frank A.

After moving to New Jersey, she worked in the Merck Veterinary department until the birth of her first child. While raising three children, she volunteered at the Westfield school libraries, the Presbyterian Church library, and at the Miller Cory House, a museum portraying 18th century farm life. She demonstrated the preparation of freshly shorn wool for dying and spinning, and then how to spin this wool using her treasured flax wheel that has been in the family since 1750. Lauramae enjoyed bridge, gardening, sewing, knitting, traveling, and genealogy, and was active in the Presbyterian Church in Westfield and as an officer in the Westfield Chapter of the DAR. She devoted her life to her late husband Frank and their family, and especially enjoyed her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Rebecca Elizabeth Dailey
Class of 2010
All Notes General Notes

They have complete control to do good, green, great things for themselves.” When Rebecca Dailey began working with the Shelby Farms Park Conservancy in 2011 as an intern, she designed and ran the first summer camp curriculum for the park. The camp won the National Health and Fitness Award, and Dailey won a job in communications for the Conservancy. It’s work, she says, “that I have absolutely fallen in love with. Being able to tell the park’s story is a really incredible job to have.” Dailey grew up in Midtown Memphis but never visited Shelby Farms or even nearby Overton Park. She was introduced to the outdoors while a student at Maryville College in the mountains of East Tennessee. “It was so special for me that I wanted to make sure that kids here could have a similar experience, because it really shaped what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.” The majority of the children Dailey deals with are from underserved and at-risk neighborhoods, and this is their first experience going into the woods or gardening. The 4,500-acre park is in the midst of an overhauling master plan that excites Dailey, particularly the doubling in size of Patriot Lake. The outdoors has won her heart. She enjoys walking the grounds and practicing photography in her spare time.

After retiring, she became a Master Gardener, devoting hours of volunteer time to gardens at Minnetrista and the native garden project at the Red-tail Land Conservancy near Prairie Creek Reservoir, among others. When not gardening, she corresponded with distant cousins and acquaintances across the country to trace her family tree, discovering direct lines to Sergeant Alvin C. York and Davy Crockett as well as other less-reputable characters, which she always found amusing. Though often reserved, she was quick to smile and put others at ease and was known among friends and family for her extreme generosity. Survivors include her husband, Daniel Davis, Muncie, Indiana, with whom she would have celebrated 25 years of marriage in August; her son, Gary Richard (Cheryl) Davis, Harriman, Tennessee; her daughter, Julie Davis Rennecker, Austin, Texas; and her stepdaughter, Tammy Davis (Jim) Henderson, Muncie; four sisters, Lola (Howard) Hayes, Nashville, Tennessee; Sue (Richard) Amonett, Indianapolis; Bettye (Barry) Munday, Carrollton, Georgia; Ann (Joe) Hill, Elijay, Georgia; one brother, Doug (Valeria) Voiles, Jamestown, Tennessee; and one half-brother, Roy (Gwen) Strayer.

Barbara Scott Davis
Class of 1953
All Notes Memoriam

Barbara Scott Patton Davis, 88, passed away on Wednesday, May 27, 2020. She was born on August 24, 1931, in Cincinnati, OH, to James Allen Scott and Lillie Belle Roseberry. At the age of 14, her family moved to Wilmington, North Carolina. She attended New Hanover High School and enjoyed the close proximity of Wrightsville Beach. From a young age she had a love for music and began to study piano. She pursued a music career at Maryville College in Maryville, Tennessee, graduating in 1953 with a BA in piano performance. She also enjoyed singing in and traveling with the Maryville choir. She had a beautiful soprano voice which landed her a solo in the Messiah during her college career. Her magnus opus was performing a 100-page Schumann concerto from memory, accompanied by the Maryville College orchestra. While attending Maryville, she met Richard Edward Patton and they were united in marriage in 1954. From that union were born Babs (Wayne), Kathy (Hani), Rick (Mary Margaret), and Martha (Macon). She often commented that being a mom was the best job she ever had. In her middle years, she took up tennis, snow skiing, and other activities, sometimes against her better judgement. As her children grew older, she began teaching piano out of her private studio, at one point growing that practice to 55 pupils. Students would even come for lessons at 6:30 in the morning just so they could receive instruction from her. Her love for music carried over into the area of voice and she directed a couple of children’s choirs that would perform at shopping malls. Her relationship with the students and their families extended well beyond the walls of her studio. She invested greatly in their lives and her life was, in turn, enriched by them. In January 1997, she married Kenneth Holmes Davis, Jr. The circumstances of her health caused them to be married in the chapel at Durham Regional Hospital. They were blessed with 23 years together and shared a love of music, enjoyed spending time with family, and serving together in their church, Peace Presbyterian Church. Barbara and her husband Ken hosted a family beach trip at Wrightsville beach for 22 years, bringing together her children and grandchildren. Those weeks will be cherished by all for years to come and she would often remark, “Is this not the best thing we’ve ever done?” She is survived by her beloved husband, four children, two stepchildren, fifteen grandchildren, three step-grandchildren, ten great grandchildren and two step grands. Our mom leaves behind a legacy of faith and a love for the Lord. Hers was a life well lived. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date this summer. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to: the Maryville College Music Department at Maryville College, 502 E.
