Fletcher Davidson 1937-2020

Mr. Davidson was born May 7, 1937, in Lumpkin, Ga., a son of Alton and Eddie B. Jones Davidson.

He worked as a machine operator with General Electric, retiring in 1994.

A faithful member of Friendship Baptist Church in Girard, he was a member of its Male Chorus, Men’s Fellowship and Sunday school.

He was also a member of the Buckeye Elks I.B.P.O.E. of W.

A delightful and joyful person, Fletcher enjoyed fishing, going to flea markets and was well liked by everyone at the facility where he resided.

He leaves to mourn his passing, but to rejoice in his eternal peace, his daughter, Andrea Davidson of New Jersey; three sons, Ricky and Michael Woods, and Donald Davidson; two sisters-in-law, Joyce Davidson and Dorothy Davidson, both of Youngstown; three granddaughters; four great-granddaughters; one great-grandson; and a host of loving family and friends.

Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by two sisters, Myrtle Davidson Henry and Ollie Davidson Bryant; and five brothers, Alton Jr., Leo, Willie E., Arthur and Benjamin Davidson.

Andrea wishes to send a special “thank-you” to her auntie, Joyce Davidson, and her cousin, Arnold Davidson, for all their love, help and concern during the illness of her father, Fletcher. May God bless and keep you.
