CECELIA (METERKO) DAVIS OBITUARY

Cecelia M. (Meterko) Davis, 90, of Northern Cambria, PA died Sunday, October 30, 2022 at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown, PA.

The daughter of Michael and Mary M. (Soltis) Meterko, Sr, she was born on September 13, 1932 in Raytown, Indiana, County, PA.

Cecelia was a life time member of the SS Peter and Paul Orthodox Church in Urey, PA, where she was a longtime choir member.

She was a graduate of Montgomery Twp. High School in Arcadia, PA.

Cecelia worked a wide variety of jobs during her career. She was employed as a seamstress for ten years at the Barnesboro Shirt Factory/Van Heusen Factory and for seven years at the Patton Shirt Factory.

For three years, Cecelia worked in the deep coal mines of the Greenwich Colleries. As a nurse’s aide, she had been employed at several Indiana nursing homes, as well as the former Mountain View Manor nursing home in Hillsdale, PA.

Cecelia greatly enjoyed being a part of her family’s dairy and beef farm, so it is not surprising that some of her favorite pastimes were vegetable gardening, canning, cooking, milking cows and going deer hunting.

An accomplished cook, she volunteered her cooking skills to assist with various functions at local churches.

Cecelia married Arthur H. Davis on August 9, 1958. They shared fifty-six years of marriage together until his death on December 30, 2014.

She is survived by her six children: Sheila C. Weaver and husband Daniel of Northern Cambria, PA; her twin sons: Myron H. Davis and wife Sandra of Alverda, PA and Byron M. Davis of Northern Cambria, PA; her second set of twins: Gordon H. Davis and wife Pamela of Northern Cambria, PA and Tanya M. Kunsman and husband Michael of LaJose, PA and Shawn C. Davis and wife Carrie of Cherry Tree, PA; ten grandchildren; sixteen great grandchildren and her brother, Vladimer Meterko of Arkansas.

Cecelia was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; her grandson, Mark Anthony Kunsman; three infant great grandchildren and her five brothers: Andrew, Emil, Michael “Bill,” Jr.; Dan and Aaron “Ron” Meterko.

Family and friends will be received from 2-4:00 and 6-8:00 p.m. on Thursday November 3, 2022 at the Rairigh Funeral Home, Ltd. in Hillsdale, PA. There will be a 7:00 p.m. Panachida service during the Thursday evening visitation.
