Artie Mae was born on August 10, 1924, to the late Reverend Rufus Terry and Annie Mae Jordan Terry in Ellaville (Schley County) Georgia.  Artie Mae was the last surviving  offspring of this union, she was preceded in death by her Parents, Sister, Olivia and Brothers, Rudolph (Eleanor), Reno Dean (Azzie) and Milton Terry, Sr.

Artie Mae received her formal education, as well as Christian education in the Schley County Community.  She accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at the New Corinth Baptist Church in Ellaville, Georgia.  She was active in all facets of ministry and enjoyed supporting all that would bring Glory to the Name of Jesus.  On February 8th of 1950 she would be joined in holy matrimony to the late Deacon Eddie Davis and they would journey together until his demise in 1993.

Artie Mae lived a positive life doing many good deeds and kind services for others.  She was gifted with many talents and abilities, having served as a substitute teacher by day and seamstress by night; she enjoyed baking for family and friends, as well as sharing home grown vegetables from her garden.  She would later become an employee of the Southern Frozen Foods of Montezuma, where she retired after more than 25 years of service.  Artie Mae was a member of the Order of Eastern Stars.  Artie Mae was a creative thinker who, despite challenges, would accomplish the task at hand. Her independence was very important to her and she was able to live on her own with limited assistance until July of 2021.

Family on behalf of Janie Smith we send our deepest condolences to cousin Artie Mae, Janie loved her cousin Artie Mae. My brother and myself enjoyed cousin Artie Mae company during our time in Americus. The one statement that stuck with us is”I am wrong” Artie Mae, gave us wrong direction, it was so cute how she spoke. Cousin Janie have some medical issue, its too long of a ride in her condition. We will truly miss Artie Mae. Rest In Peace. Love to hear that soft tone voice.
