Impatient, and having lived a rich, full life, Cleo had exclaimed just before her death, that she believed “Heaven had lost her address.” Cleo was raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, and then moved to Main Street in Orem where she remained all of her life. She was married to Ervil Lynn Davis in 1947. Together they raised three sons, Lynn Ervil Davis, Robert R Davis, and Lloyd Allen Davis. Cleo was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and held several positions within the religious organization. She was employed by Barbizon and ZCMI companies for many years before retiring to spend time with her grandchildren. When asked what she did for a living, Cleo would often reply that she was “Homemaker and Slave.” For many years, Cleo’s favorite hobby was ceramics. Cleo created many ceramic art pieces that she generously shared with family and friends.
