Special Info  Celebrating the Life of Jean King Davidson Jean King Davidson was born on April 15, 1941 to Albertina Johnson Dennan and Edward Uriah King. She attended All Saints Anglican School, then Ramlochan High School. She studied and taught shorthand and typing at the Maggie Clark School. She worked as a telephone operator at the Berbice Sanitarium until 1967 when she immigrated to Minneapolis, MN on a student visa to study medical technology. After she completed her studies, her close friends June Relair and June Fraser encouraged her to move to New York. The trip to New York would change the lives of everyone here. Shortly after coming to New York she landed a job at JP Morgan Chase Bank as a supervisor, and met the love her life Victor Davidson. Their love story lasted over 40 years. They raised two children, Tiffany Scarlett Davidson and Romona Elizabeth Davidson. Mrs. Davidson worked at Chase for over 25 years. Professionally Mrs. Jean Davidson, she was affectionately known as Auntie Jean to most of us. She had a second job for much more than 25 years. She moonlighted as a modern day Mother Teresa, St. Nicholas and our Oprah Winfrey. Auntie Jean was the person that would give you the shirt off her back. Giving brought her immense joy. She did not need anything else in return. When you think of her; think of Atlas carrying the world on his back. She was our Atlas and we were the world. She facilitated the emigration of her parents, siblings, nieces, nephews and others to America. Look to your left. Now look to your right. Look a few rows in front you. Everywhere you look under this roof today is someone whose life she has impacted. I want to call your attention to the fact that she has at least 20 siblings, over 50 nieces and nephews, more than 10 great nieces and nephews and several great-great nieces and nephews who all look up to her as the matriarch of our family. Wrapped in all of this is her most visible trait. Auntie Jean was our Michelle Obama. She was the first lady of this family. Impeccably styled, always fashionable and a constant reminder to be independent, professional and ladylike. These were aspirations for all of her nieces. For her nephews she set the standard for what to look for in a partner. Simple reminders loom large for us: You must have a pocketbook; stop dragging your feet; and the most dreaded question. The words that could make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up: Did you say good morning? You never, ever wanted her to ask that question. Etiquette was an important facet of her life. She did things the right way even when others didn’t. She reminded us through words and deeds to live your best life, reach for the stars and revel in your happiness. She loved to laugh, dance and sing. Family and friends shed no tears for our beloved. She took this world by storm, and left in peace. Her work is done, but her legacy lives on in each of us. Celebrate her with the same joy and passion with which she lived her life. In closing, she brought many family and friends to the Promised Land in Brooklyn, the new Smithfield.
