Trudy Beth Tysor Davis

Trudy Beth Tysor Davis, 76, went home to be with her Heavenly Father, Friday, November 21st, 2024. Unfortunately, she had struggled with dementia for some time. Her best friend, Glen Culberson, was lovingly and faithfully by her side. He was her angel. She touched a lot of people in her life and many people cared for her. A native of Chatham County, Trudy was born May 24th, 1948, to the late Dorothy Mobley and Fred Farthing Tysor.

She grew up on a farm, the oldest of four siblings. She loved being outdoors, on the farm helping her father with the cows, chickens, and driving the old stick shift truck. She enjoyed just hanging with the dogs as well. During the beginning stages of this illness, she still had wonderful memories of her childhood on the farm and stories of her grandmother. She also talked about her younger sister, Dixie, when she was born and what a pleasure she was. I remember hearing stories about the old dirt road. She always wanted to go back to those times. She had forgotten that her Mom was gone and would be sad because she could not remember that she was with her until the end. She could no longer remember.

After Trudy graduated from Pittsboro High School, she attended and graduated beauty school. She was married in December of 1968 and had her first and only child in 1970. In 1992, she received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, at the age of 44. She earned her degree going to classes at night after working the day shift at Wrangler/VF Corporation, where she retired from.

She loved to read and would often read the same book more than once. She was an artist, loved to paint, quilt, and sew. She was in lots of plays. She also loved singing, dancing, clogging, and playing piano. She was active in church and choir. She did volunteer work and took many mission trips to other countries.

In addition to her parents, Trudy was preceded in death by her brother, Terry Tysor, in whom she often thought of.

Trudy is survived by her daughter, Kristy Doss (Jason) of Julian, NC; her grandchildren, Sierra McCaskill, Summer McCaskill and Aaron Doss (Chelsea), Cameron Lowe (Raychel); her great grandchildren, Waylen Davis Maynard, Hudson Doss, Hayes Doss, Sunny Lowe, and Ava Lowe; her sisters, Bonnie Tysor Moon and Dixie Tysor Clark (Darryl); her best friend, Glen Culberson; her nieces and nephews, Aprille, Trent, Holly, Lance, and Terran.
