I’m raising funds for my grandmother, Hattie Margaret Davis, so our family can give her a proper burial in Wilson, North Carolina. Hattie recently passed away after falling ill, and we are now facing funeral expenses without the support we thought would be there because her life insurance lapsed right before her illness.

This loss has changed so much for our family. It has affected how we function and communicate day to day, and it has brought a lot of stress into our lives. At the same time, it has also brought us closer together as we try to support one another through this. For me and my younger brother especially, her passing has left a space that cannot be filled.

One of the hardest parts for me is knowing I will miss the long phone conversations I shared with my grandmother. We could talk about everything from politics to family gossip, and those talks meant so much to me. Remembering that connection makes this loss feel even more personal and painful.

Donations will help cover the costs of her casket, flowers, transportation, and the funeral home repass. Any support, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial burden on our family and allow us to lay Hattie Margaret Davis to rest with the dignity and care she deserves. If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser.
