Serena Ann Davis

Serena Ann Davis was born February 12, 1974 in a military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany. She was in such a hurry to start living her life that her mother, Dulzura “Dee” Davis, had her before her father, Donald Davis, could make it back from the parking lot. Serena never lost that zest for life, she was always in a hurry to make the most of her time and plan her next big trip. Whether it was hiking Machu Picchu, snorkeling in Australia, touring Italy, or exploring the Grand Canyon, Serena was always up for an adventure. The Grand Tetons were a special place where Serena, her mother, and sister vacationed annually.

Serena had an unbreakable bond with her older sister, Alaena Davis, and they loved each other fiercely. Alaena selflessly shared her sister with the many friends and honorary sisters that Serena had made over the years. Serena was a patient listener and a wise counselor to many. She loved helping people and took pride in her work as a registered nurse. Serena also took medical missions to other countries to help those in need. Her generosity knew no bounds.

Serena worked at her job in St. Marks Hospital until her body would no longer allow her to nurse. It was her biggest disappointment that she would no longer be able to help her patients after learning that she had an inoperable brain tumor in January of this year. Serena faced her terminal diagnosis with fierce courage and grace. She was an example to many on how to live without regret. She made sure to let everyone around her know that they were valued and loved. The world would be a better place if we could all live life as honestly as Serena did.

Serena loved animals and cared about their welfare. She adopted her fierce protector cat, Luke, from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. She was told that Luke was a cat with a bad attitude and stinky breath. That is all she needed to hear to know that he was the one for her. Luke watched over his mother through her entire illness, lying on her chest even as she took her last breath on December 1, 2025. If you would like to make a donation in Serena’s honor, please give to Best Friends to save other jerk cats like Luke or unadoptable dogs like her late, fluffy Mystic.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date and time to be determined.
