Linda Lee (Browning) Davis
Linda Lee (Browning) Davis was born Feb. 1, 1949, to Ralph Browning and Dollie (Mullanix) Browning in Imperial, Nebraska. She died Nov. 2, 2023, at the home of her daughter, shortly after being admitted into in-home hospice care in Arvada, Colorado at the age of 74.
Linda attended Imperial Grade School and graduated from Chase County High School in 1967. She joined flight attendant school post-graduation in Denver, Colorado where she met her future husband.
54 years ago on Aug. 2, 1969, Linda married James (Jim) Michael Davis in Arvada, Colorado, and to this union, a daughter, Jamie Lynn was born.
Linda traveled to Germany while Jim was stationed in the Army (1969-1971). Upon their return to the states Linda began a career in insurance working in middle management for Hartford Insurance for 15 years followed by working for agents with State Farm Insurance for the remainder of her working years. Linda also enjoyed selling Home Interiors and Gifts for 20+ years and had a natural ability for decorating.
At the age of 60, Jim and Linda moved from Arvada Colorado to Lake Havasu Arizona upon retirement where they could enjoy warmer weather and days on Lake Havasu. Linda loved playing cards with friends and family, cooking which was a skill set she learned from her mother whom for a period, the Browning family owned and operated a café in Imperial, and most treasured to Linda, enjoyed every minute with her only grandson, Walker James.
