Ethel Mae Fulks Davis was the first of eight children born to the late Henry Lee and Tressie Lee Fulks. She was born May 21, 1938 in Ideal, Georgia. She was educated at the Macon County Grade School and then began her life of service to others in many capacities. She first worked as a Nutritional Food Service Cook at the former Sumter Regional Hospital of Americus, Georgia and retired from there. She then began working with the Macon County Board of Education in Montezuma, Georgia as a Nutritional Food Service Cook. After her years of dedicated services to the employees and students of Macon County, she retired. She was a faithful member of Zion Hill Primitive Baptist Church in Ellaville, Georgia, where she served as assistant clerk and food committee member under the leadership of Elder Paul Swift, Elder Joseph Crawford, and Elder Nathan Rolle. She was preceded in death by her husband, Zettie Davis, Sr.; three siblings, Earlene Fulks, Henry Lewis Fulks, Shirley Lee Williams; two grandchildren, Kelvin and Sabrina Hill and Omar Daviyale McDonald; and two great-grandchildren, Gregory Davis and Taylor Nicole Haerron.
Those who crossed paths with her loved her. She was affectionately called “Granny,” Mama, Mrs. Ethel Mae, and “Sugar.” She will forever be remembered as a beautiful, amazing, caring, compassionate, hardworking, gracious, strong, fun, humorous, supportive, and thankful mother who always accepted all her children with love, food, and blessings.
