Obituary

Delia North Davis, June 27, 2006
Delia North Davis was surrounded by Bates: four of her brothers, a nephew, and a cousin also attended the College. These connections, she said, gave her strong ties to Bates. After retiring from teaching in Massachusetts and Connecticut, she threw open her big, old house in Southborough, Mass., to her 12 nieces and nephews and 16 great-nieces and great-nephews, delighted it could accommodate young and old. She considered herself a watchdog of local government, and deplored the loss of “good, thoughtful, wise leadership on local, state, and national levels.” She was a past president and member of the Southborough Women’s Club and a member of the Southborough Historical Society. Her brother, Charles Davis ’44, predeceased her. Among her survivors are her other brothers, John A. Davis ’40, Walter M. Davis ’44, and William N. Davis Jr. ’41; nephew William N. Davis III ’66; and cousin Ellen Landry-Rooney ’85. Two sisters also predeceased her.
