Mary Josephine (Jo) Butchee Davis, 69, of Blair, Oklahoma went to be with her Heavenly Father on Friday, January 11, 2013 after a courageous battle with cancer. Services are scheduled for 2:00 p. m.

Jo married Charles Barry Davis June 4, 1961 at the First Baptist Church in Blair, Oklahoma. They made their home in Blair and spent many wonderful years together there. They were jut a few months short of celebrating their 44th wedding anniversary upon Barry's death.
Jo worked on the farm with her brothers while growing up but made her career in the public through the banking services, Southwestern Oklahoma State College, and the agriculture business industry.
