Karen Pace Davis, 64, of Mills River passed away Friday, February 18, 2022 at Advent Health Hendersonville.

A native of Henderson County, she was the daughter of the late William L. and Jeanne A. Pace.

Karen worked for many years assisting in accounting and performing payroll and bookkeeping services. She was dedicated in all areas of her life and took pride in performing her job to the very best of her abilities. She was especially known for her “paper trail”. She loved animals, especially horses, dogs, and cats, of which she had many. She was incredibly loyal and loved her family and friends deeply and cherished the many times she shared with them. She was a wonderful wife, marvelous mother, giving Grammy, and fierce friend. She stood on principle, never compromised and always fought for what was right and just. She gave of herself to those in need, many times at her own expense.

Those left to cherish her memory are her husband of 46 years, Gene Thomas Davis, one son, Brice Davis of Durham and his wife Amber, two grandsons, Tyler Davis and Thomas Davis of Durham, one sister, Alice Marie Darnell of Huntersville, two brothers, William “Bill” Pace, Jr. of Durham and his wife Carolyn, Terry Pace of Lewisville and his wife Becky, as well as several nieces, nephews, and their children.
