Patricia "Pat" Davis, 79, of Duluth, Minnesota, passed away on August 1, 2026.
Born on November 27, 1946, to Dale William Snow and Virginia Leona Snow (Banack), Pat grew up in Duluth alongside her older sister, Mary "Polly" Miller (Snow), and younger brother, Marc Snow. Her life was marked by resilience, adventure, and a deep love for family and friends.
Pat married the love of her life, James "Jim" Davis, and together they shared adventures around the world during Jim's service in the United States Navy, including time in Japan and Hawaii. After returning to Duluth, they built a warm and welcoming home and shared 30 wonderful years of marriage until Jim's sudden passing in 2000.
Pat dedicated more than 30 years of her career to serving hospitals and clinics throughout the region as a Laboratory Technician. She was also a proud member of the Minnesota Society of Medical Technologists.
Although Pat had no children of her own, she was a beloved aunt to generations of nieces and nephews and took great joy in watching her family grow to include a great-great nephew. She was equally devoted to animals and was rarely without a cherished dog or cat, often opening her heart to animals in need.
Pat will be remembered for her kindness, adventurous spirit, devotion to family, and compassion for both people and animals.
She was preceded in death by her husband, James "Jim" Davis; her parents, Dale William Snow and Virginia Leona Snow (Banack); her sister, Mary "Polly" Miller (Snow); and her brother, Marc Snow.
She is survived by her loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, great-great nephew, and many dear friends.
A Memorial Service will be held at 10am on Thursday, August 6, 2026 at Dougherty Funeral Home, 600 E. Second Street, Duluth with a Visitation beginning at 9:30am. Burial at Polish Catholic Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Animal Allies in Duluth, MN, in Pat's memory.
