Janet Elizabeth Davis
August 22, 1929 - July 3, 2025
Peacefully at home on Thursday, July 3rd, 2025, in her 96th year, and now safe in the arms of Jesus. Daughter of the late Ernest James Davis and Edith Marian Davis (née Steven). Janet will be deeply missed. She was predeceased by her beloved sisters Marie Martin (Ernest), Muriel Davis, and Elaine Griffiths (David). A cherished aunt to Linda and Jim Finn, Donald and Gloria Martin, Ruth and Steve Maude, Doug and Sue Martin, Allan and Leslie Griffiths, Mark and Susan Griffiths, and Jonathan and Bel Griffiths, a loving great-aunt to 14, and great-great aunt to two. She will also be fondly remembered by extended family and many dear friends.
Born to missionary parents on August 22, 1929, in Hunan Province, China, Janet went on to become a missionary herself, and a dedicated nurse, serving in the Philippines for more than thirty years. Her life was a testament to quiet strength, unwavering faith, and deep compassion.
Sincere thanks to the amazing staff at Fox Hollow, London, Dr. Metusa, and the kind and generous team at the VON.

We knew Janet for many years but especially enjoyed seeing her ministry as a nurse in the Ifugao region of northern Luzon. Her nursing was important but she was also skilled at transformational community development ideas that would help raise tribal villagers standard of living and extend lives. I still use placemats - woven at least 45 years ago by some of her Ifugao weavers that she helped buy durable thread with micro loans. She was WAY ahead of her times!!
