Eva D. Davis

Eva D. Davis, 89, of Fairfield Township, passed away on March 14, 2026, at Maurice House Assisted Living in Millville, surrounded by her family and under the care of hospice.

Born in Pilesgrove, she was the daughter of the late John W. DuBois and Geneva Richardson DuBois. She was the wife of the late Jack P. Davis and had lived in Fairfield Township for 58 years. Raised on the family farm in Pilesgrove, she later resided for a time in Upper Deerfield Township before settling in Fairfield.

A devoted homemaker, Eva cared for her family while assisting her husband Jack in operating J.E.D. Fleet Service, Inc. in Fairton. Together they also managed their own paper delivery routes for many years. She was an active member of the Lawrence Township Senior Center, where she found joy in the activities and friendships there. Eva loved knitting, crocheting, and reading, and she cherished the companionship of her cats at home.

She is survived by her children, Ruth L. Dawson (John “J.D.”) of Fairton, Mark A. Davis (Patricia) of Fairton, and John R. Davis of Vineland; five grandchildren, Toni Marie Shull, Jackie Milletta, Graham Davis, Shaun Davis, and Danielle Cullison; and ten great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her grandson, Christopher Dawson, and her three siblings, Harry DuBois, Maurice DuBois, and Joan Woolman.
