Willie Stonecipher Davison Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Willie (Nanny Bill) Stonecipher Davison, 92, Johnson City went home to be with the Lord, Sunday, December 25, 2011 at the residence of a granddaughter. She was a native of Knoxville but had lived in Johnson City most of her life. Mrs. Davison was a daughter of the late Albert and Elizabeth Hodges Stonecipher. She was a homemaker who lovingly cared for her children and grandchildren. With little formal schooling she was self educated and delighted in teaching them as well as the neighborhood kids new things. She always took time to make learning fun. Many will recall how "Nanny taught me this". Since she lived through the depression, she learned how to recycle useful things and all of the kids would say "take it to Nanny, she will fix it". People enjoyed being around her because of her fun loving ways. Her youthful outlook and appearance amazed everyone, even in her nineties. Laughter and family kept her young and happy. Mrs. Davison's hobbies included sewing and reading and she was an avid reader of the Johnson City press for many years.
