8 <br /> enjoy today. As a result, she was a trusted and credible source of information in the community <br /> due to the reliable research-based information she provided. <br /> The early years of Mrs. Davis' career were filled with overt racism as a result of the segregation <br /> of the NC Agricultural Extension Service (as it was known at the time). One of the indignities <br /> experienced by Mrs. Davis and other black Extension workers was they were not allowed to use <br /> the restroom facilities in the building where they worked,but instead had to use an outhouse. In <br /> spite of this and other indignities, Mrs. Davis never lost her determination to serve the <br /> community. As the parallel Extension organizations merged into one, Mrs. Davis' diplomatic <br /> skills, calm disposition, and spirit of forgiveness served as a bridge that aided in the transition. <br /> She was the perfect person at the perfect time. <br /> Mrs. Davis' involvement and engagement extended well beyond her professional achievements. <br /> She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sibling, friend, church member, and sorority <br /> sister, as well as a member of numerous boards, councils, and civic groups. Wherever she <br /> served, she gave generously of her time,talents, and resources. The Orange County community <br /> was greatly enriched by the life of Mrs. Bonnie B. Davis. Please feel free to contact me if you <br /> need additional information by calling 919-971-0643 or via email at dbrhta kaol.com. Thank <br /> you for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> OMA764�Y,0 <br /> Deborah J. Taylo <br /> Retired Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Agent <br /> NC Cooperative Extension <br />
