Laura Mae Whitehead (née Davis) entered into life on Friday, June 20th, 1924 to Dugar G. Davis and Mary E. Davis as one of 7 children.

She faithfully attended Bethlehem Baptist Church and remained active in her community for as long as she could as Deaconess, Lead Singer of Senior Choir, Mother of the Church, member of the Women's Auxiliary, and Pulpit Aide Ministry. She shared the story of her childhood in the Annual Black History Program. Laura continued to use her gifts to help others by preparing dinners for the hungry and crocheting caps and blankets for newborns. Laura was a woman of many talents, including sewing, quilting, crochet, and gardening. Many know her for her singing in the church choir (she loved visiting local churches to sing "The Lord Can't Use You Sitting Down"). Laura always made sure you were smiling and well-fed.
