Born near Waldo, Ohio, to William A. & Gretha W. (Schofield) Herbert, the second of their six children.

She graduated from Worthington High School, where she played on the basketball team, and then went to Columbus Business College, where she was a member of Tau Kappa Phi Business Women's Sorority. She was an office manager of a downtown marketing firm until her marriage to Bruce R Davisson on June 29, 1935, at St. John's Church, Columbus, Ohio.
The family moved to Upper Sandusky, Ohio, where Bruce managed Townsley Hatchery. In 1940 Bruce took a position with the Ohio Poultry Association, and they moved to Columbus, living at Arden Road. A year or two later they purchased a home in Clintonville, at 292 Northridge Avenue, Columbus.

She lost her husband of 46 years in 1982, and lived her remaining twenty years at the farm home she loved. She was a patient and kind counselor, family historian, a great gardener and an amazing cook, her pies and cookies being a legend among family, friends, and the men who came to help mow in later years.

She was survived by four children, ten grandchildren, a sister, two sisters-in-law, and many other relatives and friends, including life-long friend Kathryn Prochaska.
