FLORENCE DAVIS BUTTS, daughter of the late Henry and Pensie Davis, was born in Long Island, Virginia on March 21, 1920. Florence was the fourth of ten children and was educated in the Long Island, Virginia public school system. As a young adult, Florence relocated to Baltimore, Maryland and worked diligently as a Seamstress until she was in her late eighties.
Florence obeyed the Gospel and gave her life to Christ at an early age. She was a true believer in God was a faithful member of Little Ark Baptist Church's usher board until the early 1970's. Florence was the key marcher who started the ushers going through the doors of the church by stepping. Until the day she left us, Florence would sit in her chair and still move those feet. In 1973, Florence became a member of New Refuge Deliverance Cathedral. She later joined and served at Spread the Word Cathedral until her health prevented her from attending.
Florence was married to the late Providence Butts and was the mother of five children: Ida Davis, Providence Butts Jr. (who preceded her in death), Margaret Ford, Corissa Bukhari, and Thaddeus Butts. Florence made many friends throughout her life and will be sincerely missed by all who knew her.
Florence leaves to cherish her memories: three daughters, Ida, Margaret and Corissa; one son, Thaddeus; one brother, Henry Jr.; five sisters, Ethel, Adell, Ruth, Mary, and Maddie; fourteen grandchildren; thirty-three great grandchildren; fourteen great-great grandchildren; and a host of nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends.
