Willie Mae Davis was born March 30, 1930 to Timothy Davis, Sr. and Idesia Franklin Davis who both preceded her in death.

She was born in Allen Hurst, Texas. She attended school on the LeTulle Farm and later relocated to Bay City, TX.

She accepted Christ at an early age while living in Allen Hurst with her parents. Upon moving to Bay City she united with Enterprise Missionary Baptist Church.

She retired in 1996. In 2006 she moved to Galveston, TX to be close to her daughter due to failing health. Prior to Ike (2008) they moved to the LaMarque/Texas City area.
